Flash video player VS HTML 5 Video.....
- by metal-gear-solid
I need to add a video player to play a video on a webpage. usually i use Flash player with the help of swfobject library. which works if flash player and javascript both are enabled.
I'm currently using XHTML 1.0 strict doctype.
My question is can i just change my doctype to HTML 5 doctype and add Video player using HTML 5 video. for browser which do not support HTML5 i can a a javascript.
in this condition in supported browser Video will work without Flash player and javascript and in non-supported browser will work with js support.
Is this possible? Is this a good idea?
