Jon,
Thanks for your email.
Yes, I am quite sure the path is correct, in fact, I had Dreamweaver
create it and I checked it manually.
Very strange ...
Regards,
Grant Bailey

Hi Grant,
There's nothing in the current spec (editor's draft included)
indicating that the /src/ attribute (whether on the alternative
/source
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-iframe-element.html#the-source-element>/ element
or the /video
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-iframe-element.html#the-video-element>
/element) should not accept either type of URL. Are you sure your
absolute path is correct?

Hello,
I was wondering whether someone could clarify the following.
I'm trying to play video using the HTML5 <video> tag, as follows:
...
<h1><img id="banner" alt="" src="/Images/Common/IBL_banner.png"
/></h1>
<video id="movie" width="640" height="360" preload controls
poster="/Images/M4/M4_Introtorts.png">
<source src="/Video/4_1/pr6.mp4" type='video/mp4;
codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' />
</video>
Note that I am using site root-relative links. These work fine for
the <img> tag (I can see the IBL_banner.png image) but not for the
<video> tag (I have tested in Firefox, Chrome and IE8).
I changed the links within <video> to document-relative links,
like this:
...
<source src="../Video/4_1/pr6.mp4" type='video/mp4;
codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"'/>
Now the video works.
Could someone please clarify: does the <video> element not support
site root-relative links? Or am I doing something wrong?
I would be grateful for comments.
Thank you and kind regards,
Grant Bailey
