It is a checkbox that I created and added to PrefBar. Creating such checkboxes is easy. If you want my checkbox, do the following: 1. Go to <http://www.rossde.com/test/>. 2. Right-click on HTML5_media.btn, select "Save Link Target As" from the pull-down context menu, and indicate in the resulting window where you want to download the file. 3. Right-click on the PrefBar tool bar, and select "Customize PrefBar" in the pull-down context menu. 4. In the list of PrefBar objects on the right side of the PrefBar window, under Enabled Items, right-click and select Import in the pull-down context menu. 5. In the resulting window, navigate to where you saved HTML5_media.btn, select the file, and then select the Open button. 6. The checkbox will have been added to the bottom of the Enabled Items list as "HTML5 Media". You can drag it up to another position, which will determine where on the PrefBar toolbar it will appear. With a checkmark in the checkbox, HTML5 media is enabled. With no checkmark, it is disabled. After inporting the checkbox into PrefBar, you can deleted the HTML5_media.btn file from where you downloaded it. In two weeks, I will remove the file from my Web site. -- David E.
