RE: Are we ready for Takeoff

It would require some javascript hoop jumping that I’m not capable of as the “advance” would have to relay a pause back to You tube (or where ever the video is) to pause the video.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

Hi, Mary,
I, too, have noticed that about the slider. You can start all of its videos. Kinda wacky.
Yours,
Christian

The slider is a Jquery freebee Christian if you want to use it you can.  And yes it can have videos and images as well as straight text.  The one thing it does not do (and I’ve not found one that can do this) is if someone starts a video then clicks to advance to another slide, the original video will not stop.  It continues to play.  
 
Other than that it’s a nice slider.

Hi, Mary,
Thanks for the heads-up on those links.
I’ll look at them.
I think we are pretty much ready to go otherwise.
Peter’s designing some stuff for the site landing pages.
I’m working on forms, too, because those go away tomorrow as well.

I was talking to Peter and thought I’d ask you:
Do you think Admissions can use the Business slider and restyle it? Do you think COBA would mind? I don’t see why they would as Peter or I would make it look more like our site.
I like that the business slider can contain links and/or video.
What do you think?

This seems to be crunch time for all of us.
Yours,
Christian

Because of the Development site I’ve not totally tested Admissions but I’m not really worried.  I am doing a final broken link check as I type.  3 that’s it!

Um this one isn’t broken per say but it looked real odd when I went to it.

Are we ready in all other things?  Looks like the subdomain has been added.  You look ready to go.
 
I’ll be working until about 11 tonight (Development, Fr Lannon and Admissions – lord knows what else).  So don’t hesitate to email.
 
On the way into work today my windshield was broken.  I have to get it replaced tomorrow, sorry about that but it’s really broken and not particularily safe.  That said I spoke with the shop and they have wifi so I’ll work from there.  But there will be a space of about 40 minutes going and coming where I’m in the car driving (or taking a break from this insanity… take your pick).  That’s just to warn you.  If there is an emergency you can contact Joe but he might be able to assit
