  • Why is this video so big on my website?

    #1
    I used Wordpress to design a website, but had to manually hand code a section of it because the theme didn't support the extra space that I needed. Anyway, I added a video (near the bottom of the page) and it's waaay too big. I converted the original video file down to 320x240 in .wmv, .mov, and .mp4 formats but it still takes up the entire width of the page. As a last resort I uploaded it to youtube and used their embed code, but no luck there either. Can anyone help me??

    I quickly glanced through the code, and you've got lots of problems. For example, you're using HTML tags, like font, center and u that were deprecated years ago. You're also not closing the <p> tags, among other things.

    However, I'm reasonably sure that the video sizing problem isn't the HTML/CSS. I suspect that it's a javascript problem. To test out that idea, and since they looked suspicious, I removed the two "responsive" scripts at the bottom of the page, and the video displayed at its proper size. I put those scripts back in then removed the jquery script between your head tags, and again, the video again displayed correctlyt. I didn't bother analyzing the scripts themselves or check the rest of them, but it seems that some of those scripts aren't playing well with each other and somehow affecting the size of the video.

      Thanks for checking it out. I never would have thought the javascript would cause a problem, I'll look into it further. And I'll be updating my HTML skills as well.

        I imagine there's all sorts of fan art out there in this style for inspiration. You already have the banner templates, so just find an interesting way of using them. It doesn't have to be overly complicated...

        Good points, although I'm unsure how to correct this without starting it all over from scratch and scrapping the whole idea. I'll have to think about it.

        Yes, I got the general idea from my copy of Gulliver's Travels.

        I had hoped that I could convey the seasons with the colors and leaves, with the greens representing Summer and Spring and...

        I can't see the image because of the new upgrade. Do they like it?

        Unfortunately I don't have access to any other programs, gah. Question about crop marks...are they necessary? This may sound like a silly question, but for the invitations, the design itself is very simple...
