Description:

See comments in function definition.

The function automatically sets padding and border values so that if inserted into a text field which is delivered to a dynamic web page the Video player is appropriately sized and placed with text.

Thus an interface on the FM side can easily insert videos in web news stories, etc.

Note: these functions are not guaranteed or supported by BrianDunning.com. Please contact the individual developer with any questions or problems.
