The video is in .mp4 format, which, if I remember correctly, Firefox doesn’t support. Firefox works with Ogg/Ogv/Theora/Vorbis. Worked in Chrome though. I suspect it uses H.264, which Google is an advocate of.

I have a current Firefox (3.5.3) and this page doesn’t seem to work for me… has it broken recently?

Other HTML5 video stuff (eg http://open.bbc.co.uk/rad/demos/html5/rdtv/episode2/index.html) works just fine.

Now that YouTube is requiring a Flash update that I honestly don’t care to make, since it seems a little too invasive compared to previous updates, it is time for YouTube to switch to HTML5.

Yeah good point there Kal you can use several h1’s on a page in html4 and xhtml1 though generally it’s not deemed best practice to.

That’s simply not true. You can use several h1 headers in a page, even in html4 and xhtml. In html5 it will be even more used since the section tag will structure the page in new parts that could all have a new heading structure.

Hi Tess

You’re right normally you are only allowed one h1 in the document but with html5 you are allowed multiple h1’s on a page.

However like you say I’m still not sure if the footer is a good place to put a h1 especially as headings aren’t allowed in the footer at the moment.

Considering that there should normally only be one h1 in the document, I’d have thought that the footer would be the worst place to put it? Maybe it’s just me?
