Behavior of YouTube Widget?
Oct 19 2007, 1:52 PM EDT | Post edited: Oct 19 2007, 1:52 PM EDT
After viewing a YouTube video clip within a wetpaint page, Youtube displays a horizontal sliding menu of related clips. If you click on one of the related clips it proceeds to play still within the wetpaint page. Shouldn't it play in a new Youttube page instead? This causes problems if you have text within your wetpaint page that describes the original clip but does pertain to the related clip at all.
See the problem?

The related videos does not open in a new window, There should not be any confusion with the description because the described video is the 1st one the user will see, The user has to finish watching the video to go to the related videos section. This happens of any website not just wetpaint wikis it is a part of how the YouTube Videos work.

Hope This Helps

Thanks for clarifying the issue.
I saw a "problem" when there was none. You are correct in saying the viewer of the original video should know that it does not apply to other related videos if selected.
Thanks.
