Looking for a solution. We have a small video playing on our website
HandMessages.com that when you surf on home page continues to refresh and in some cases start over......we want the video to play independently of other site functions.

Ideas?

Any other feedback on the site design or functionality anyone can provide would be appreciated......Hooper

The only solution I can think of would be to put the video itself into an iframe of some sort--I'm not exactly sure how, but something to that effect would probably do the trick since iframes are an entirely different page set into a frame. So.. I suppose then you're looking for an inverse iframe sort of deal, where the content on the page INSIDE of the iframe stays static and the outer page changes (as opposed to the inverse of that, which is what iframes actually are). I personally don't like frames, since they're restricting, but I can't think of any other way to remedy your video dilemma.

Thanks Azarel for taking the time to respond. biggrin.gif I mentioned that to the developer before this post and he agreed with your dislike of it so was working within flash to try to make it work.

i thought of that that be always seen iframes where the outside doesn't change and the inside (mainly the content) changes with links

but yeah something along the lines of Iframes will work
looking for tutorials and codes on such isn't a problem... hopefully u get this problem fixed

this wasn't much of help but i learned something today biggrin.gif

or you could bring it in using javascript?
