My friends and I are trying to make a website with the hope of having some video on it. We are using freeservers right now and have no idea what we're doing, but the site builder there is easy to use. We found little bits of HTML code for playing quicktime. After a lot of playing around with it we got it to work then when we looked at the page again the file didn't play. Parts of the HTML code were missing. Can anyone just give us an easy way to play little video files? Anything?

Well, you should probably learn html its easy and fun i learnt it in the 4th grade! Anyway, what exactly do you want for the videos ? To download and play, to play off the webpage what?

You could always convert them into Flash presentatins, that way you can play them straight off the web-page! Film Fanatic knows a bit about this.

if you want to learn HTML go to www.lissaexplains.com , it's made by a young girl for young people, it alos has alot more advanced stuff.

You could always convert them into Flash presentatins, that way you can play them straight off the web-page! Film Fanatic knows a bit about this.

you can play them straight off the webpage in HTML using this code;

<embed src="Boomaroo.mpg" WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="450" AUTOSTART="TRUE" LOOP="TRUE">

very, very easy, you can see an example of it at the webpage i made for a company, www.boomaroo.com , entirely done with html

ok now for a very basic page with the code put this;

<HTML>
<BODY>
<center>
<font size=4>
TITLE
</font><br><br>
<embed src="Boomaroo.mpg" WIDTH="500" HEIGHT="450" AUTOSTART="TRUE" LOOP="TRUE">

</BODY>
</HTML>

Then after that make any additions, if you need any other codes just let me know and i will help you out.

Damn I'm behind. I'm currently not skilled in any comp/internet language whatsoever. But I am starting VB and QBasic in school right now, and plan on learning html.

It's incredibly easy to learn. Angelfire.com has some basic html you can copy and paste as well.

ALso, if you want to see how a web-page is made up, select the View Source in the browser, and it'll show the HTML Code.

yeah lots of people just copy code from other sites and integrate it into their own

Jass Films · Post by **Jass Films** » Thu Feb 05, 2004 7:30 am

except some sites hide their codes so you can't steal it, but most don't.

you can never ever hide your code

Well I learned from http://www.Bravenet.com. really wasnt that much help but it gave me what I needed

What some web-pages actually do is run scripts that reduce your editing abilities. For instance on my Martial Arts Institute web page, right-clicking on images is disabled. But you can still view the source code, it just makes it more difficult, so most people would give up.

Also, some web-pages run various java and shockwave modules, and these obviously confuse anyone looking at the HTML code. Nothing a de-compiler or disassembler couldn't handle! Once you know the web address for said code, you can import it straight into a suitable editing program!

u can hide the code, by using a specific redirection tool, it will hide the source with the redirection codes, then by disabling right click u will be able to have the code hidden completely.

Ah, but there's 2 ways around that:

Load the page into Frontpage and edit it, or select the View-Source option!

Simple as that! Give me a web-page, I'll crack it!
