IFrame Embedding


I need an example of how the IFrame embedding works. I don't see this immediately when looking for it. I searched through several pages of the site with no success.

I need to know the constructor arguments, the scripts necessary and anything else you think will be helpful.

Thank you

Not sure what you mean. You don't need to use an iframe to display a video on your site with JW Player. Just embed it as shown in the examples (like this one: http://misterneutron.com/JW6video/).

If you want to show a video in an iframe, it's like any other iframe - you create an HTML page that has the video on it (like the example above), and then point the iframe to that page.

There are two parts to an iframe embed, the actual page that contains the HTML and Javascript (I’ll call this iframe.html) and the page that is loading the iframe (which I will call parent.html).

iframe.html needs to contain all the elements of a standalone web page. This page will also need to contain the Javascript needed for our player, the div, and the jwplayer().setup(). I also recommend you set the width of your video on this page to be 100%, because you will most likely want it to stretch to fill any space that is allotted to it on parent.html. Here’s a trick when you are testing your iframe.html: it should load properly in a browser when you point the browser directly at it

parent.html needs to include the <iframe src='iframe.html'></iframe> HTML tags. Make sure you don’t forget the </iframe>. You can include a few different parameters inside the <iframe> tag, like height, width, scrolling, and frameborder. See http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_iframe.asp for more details.
