I currently have a vimeo video embedded into my website. (code below)
<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/4415083?api=1;title=0&byline=0&portrait=0&color=d01e2f&autoplay=1" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe>
As you can see I have autoplay on, and it also resizes to full width using the code above. My problem is I have just created a video on wideo.co and I need it to react in exactly the same way as the vimeo iframe above. Below is my Wideo iframe, can somebody show me how as I have tried and tried but can not seem to get it right.
<iframe width="540" height="310" src="http://www.wideo.co/embed/7022711418637317834?height=300&width=500" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Full width videos are a bit tricky. There's no one-size-fits-all, but here's the gist of it:
padding-top
(note: the value will change depending on your situation - you need to play with this value, get a calculator, use dev tools... you'll figure it out).absolute
the iframe within the DIV, with a top and bottom set to 0auto
Here's some code:
<style>
.video-wrapper {
position: relative;
/*
Play with this value until you get the right aspect ratio.
Note: Percentage based padding is calculated by the width of the containing element.
Note 2: This value will be different for every website and/or media query...
*/
padding-top: 45%;
}
.video-wrapper iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
/* this will override the width=""/height="" properties defined on the iframe */
width: auto;
height: auto;
}
</style>
<div class="video-wrapper">
<iframe src="..." width="540" height="310"></iframe>
</div>
If you're lazy, you can also head over to fitvidsjs which handles creating the wrapping DIV and calculating the padding for you. It's a great piece of code and works quite nicely and does not require a calculator. I can calculate padding faster than I can go download the latest fitvids, upload it to my server, and reference it in code... but that's me.
