Question

Hey, I’m just wondering what code I could use to auto change the size of the video being embedded before it gets displayed.

Example, I need to have it find all instances of this

width=”any value” height=”any value“

and replace them with this

width=”540″ height=”405″

Answer 1

How exactly are you embedding the video? There are javascript libraries such as swfobject or jQuery Media that allow you to set the height/width of a flash object when the page loads.

Alternatively you could use a little bit of jQuery to alter the height/width attributes after the fact.

$('object').attr('height', 405);
$('object').attr('width', 540);
