Well, some progress. I found that the previous code I was using was dumb, and wrote another iteration.
This one works perfectly in firefox, and is draggable but not playing in safari, and for whatever reason doesn't even appear in IE(i think that's because of the object tag though) Suggestions? The code is very simple, here it is: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js";></script> <script src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/ui/ ui.core.js"></script> <script src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/tags/ui/latest/ui/ ui.draggable.js"></script> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $("#draggable-handle-div").draggable({ handle: "div" }); $(".block").draggable(); }); </script> <style> #draggable-handle-div { border: 2px solid #0090DF; background-color: #68BFEF; width: 640px; height: 360px; margin: 10px; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="draggable-handle-div" class="draggable"><div class="drag- handle">aaaaaaaaaaaa</div> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://blip.tv/ scripts/flash/showplayer.swf?file=http://blip.tv/rss/1191872"; width="640" height="338"></object> </div> </body> </html> On Nov 12, 10:08 pm, kamelkev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm wondering if anyone has stumbled across any code/sites that have > a jquery draggable modal window for displaying content... specifically > videos (youtube,bliptv,etc). > > I have written something very basic whereby I have a draggable space > with a youtube video within it - but the problem is that the content > gets hidden when you drag it, and when it is shown again the enclosed > object is re-rendered and the video starts again from scratch. > > What I'm looking to do is basically have a help video that plays on > a site I'm developing to support the users - I don't want to play the > video within thickbox as that blocks ui.
