jQuery is unable to locate the FireBreath object

Currently, I am in the process of developing a web video player by using Firebreath to compile my C/C++ codec as a browser plugin. The plugin has been successfully loaded and is functioning properly (start, stop video, etc.). My next goal is to enable full-screen functionality which involves adjusting the width and height of the plugin object (among other things). However, I have encountered an issue with jQuery not being able to locate it.

This is how my HTML looks:

<div id="player0" class="playerUI ui-draggable">
    <object id="plugin0" type="application/x-webplayer" style="width: 500px; height: 300px;">
    </object><br>
</div>

I am attempting to dynamically resize the object element, but both:

jQuery("#plugin0")

and

document.getElementById("plugin0")

return null values [].

When trying jQuery('object'), I encounter a TypeError.

Interestingly, if I try to manipulate player0 using jQuery, everything seems to be working smoothly. What could I be overlooking?

Appreciate any insights!

Answer №1

There are numerous factors at play, but jquery doesn't seem to function optimally when wrapped around a firebreath plugin object tag. I once dedicated approximately 8 hours to addressing this issue, only to conclude that it wasn't worth the effort to continue troubleshooting. My suggestion is to avoid this altogether. If relocation or positioning is necessary, try making it 100% x 100% and placing it within a div element instead. This simple adjustment can prevent a great deal of frustration in the long run.
