On this page you will notice that if you click on erica it plays the intro video. My question is a two part question

A. how is this implemented onclick?

B. how do you retain a "clear" backgound.

 

If Im not being clear say so I will do my best to re-explain.

Thank you in advance.

the woman has a "clear" background because she was probably filled infront of a green-screen that was later removed.  The video is actually a .swf (flash) file which can have a transparent background.

 

then they set the CSS z-index to a value higher then the rest of the elements on the page, giving the ability to create layers so the video plays on-top of the rest of the page.

 

as for the "on click" -- its a flash file, so they probably just use the action script version of javascript's onClick()

this is a css issue.

 

You create a div, give it absolute positioning, bottom: 0px, right: 0px, display: block, and z-index: 99.

 

You can use javascript to toggle the display from block to none

it is a special screen; meteorologist (weather men/women) use them when there on tv and showing a map of an area. it's a digitized screen; the image that you see is digitally overlayed by a computer.
