Forget using the <iframe> element for sharing videos to your friends. There is an easier way to do this. Now, with HTML5 you can use the <video> element:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <video width="448" height="336" controls="controls" poster="poster.jpg"> <source src="Nole vs. Rafa.mp4" type="video/mp4" /> <source src="Nole vs. Rafa.ogg" type="video/ogg" /> Your browser does not support the video tag. </video> </body> </html>
And the output will be:
The
<video>
tag is supported in Internet Explorer 9 (earlier versions does not support the
<video>
element), Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari.
poster="poster.jpg"
– specifies an image to be shown while the video is downloading, or until the user hits the play button
