What's going on with Maynard's Groovy Bible Tunes, from day to day...
It's up and running - an HTML5 based media player on the Jukebox.
I've styled it to look very similar to the previous player, but if your browser uses HTML5, then you now won't need Adobe Flash installed to play the song files on the jukebox. This should apply for IE9, Firefox, and Chrome. I hope it'll also work on Apple computers, but I haven't got one to test it on... Let me know!
No HTML5? Then the player will degrade nicely to the previous Flash-based player, or an even simpler non-flash player.
That's the plan, anyway.
Please let me know if you have any problems playing songs. Thanks!
I'm trying to tidy the website up a bit, and so I've just made a "More News" page.
From now on I'll only have 6 news items on the Home Page, and all the older news will now get shifted to this second page.
I've also tidied up the Javascript on these two pages - it's now (almost) all in one file, minified and gzipped. Cool eh? (what is he on about?!).
Happy Singing!
That took a while, didn't it?
Rather foolishly, I've only just installed IE9 and checked the website - only to find that my nice scrolling boxes on the jukebox were not working. Not much of a problem given that only about 4% of visitors use it, but still - not good, in the world of web design. Tsk David.
So - I've updated to the latest versions of Prototype and Scriptaculous, and now the scrolling boxes don't just work, they work better! I've implemented mouse-wheel scrolling. The wonders of Javascript.
Hopefully that'll help everyone to use and enjoy the jukebox.
