11. Can we add videos in the same fashion as scrolling videos on blog or website?
My answer for this questions is yes. You can always add any number of videos and make it a scrolling videos in the same way that we have done for the scrolling images in the examples explained above. The only difference is the html code that has to be used for each video to be added to the list of scrolling videos.
Best way to embed videos in the html is by using the tag <iframe>.
Each inserted video should have its corresponding html code that will be similar to the one I gave it here.
<iframe width=”200” height=”100” src=”source video url” frameboarder=”0” allowfullscreen></iframe>
You need to change or update the the highlighted values in the above html code as per your blog or website requirement.
- width => This takes the value video frame width
- height => This takes the value for video frame height
- src => This takes the URL of the source video
- frameboarder => This takes the value for frame boarder. You can give some value to this attribute and see what happens to the frame boarder.
- allowfullscreen => This gives FULL SCREEN option to the video added to the frame
Let me take you through some examples which would make you understand better.
I have a list of my videos from my youtube channel and their iframe html codes are mentioned below. I can embed these iframe tags within the scrolling effect tag <marquee> as explained below.
My youtube videos
<iframe width="200" height="100" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/yR1iu-ogdhE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
