Ziggeo meta-profiles parameter for recording video in javascript

I've been playing around with the ziggeo API and I'm trying to attach some events for a recording. as far as I can tell, the best way to do this is to create a div with a specific id and then create the ziggeo recorder using attribs, etc.
<div id="video_section"></div>
<script>
ZiggeoApi.Events.on("system_ready", function() {
var recorder = new ZiggeoApi.V2.Recorder({
element: document.getElementById("video_section"),
attrs: {
width: 320,
height: 240,
theme: "modern",
themecolor: "red",
}
});
recorder.activate();
});
</script>
yet, unlike the use of the simple form <ziggeorecorder></ziggeorecorder> which allows the passing of a meta-profile parameter,
<ziggeorecorder ziggeo-theme='minimalist' ziggeo-themecolor="red" ziggeo-meta-profile='META_PROFILE_TOKEN'></ziggeorecorder>
when adding meta-profile in the attribs, initializing the recorder (as indicated in the API reference) results in meta-profile being misinterpreted. when changing the attribute to meta_profile, nothing gets processed.
attrs: {
width: 320,
height: 240,
theme: "modern",
themecolor: "red",
meta_profile: 'META PROFILE ID',
}
beyond that, when trying to attach the event.
<script>
var element = document.getElementById('video_section');
var embedding = ZiggeoApi.V2.Recorder.findByElement(element);
embedding.on("submitted", function(data) {
alert("Video " + data.video.token + " was submitted!");
});
</script>
I keep getting an error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of null
does anyone have a good grip on how to do this properly? - create a recorder, set a meta-profile, and attach an event (either submission or completion of processing) to redirect back to a root path.

I think you need to use meta-profile instead of meta_profile. You may try this code:
<div id="video_section"></div>
<script>
ZiggeoApi.Events.on("system_ready", function() {
var recorder = new ZiggeoApi.V2.Recorder({
element: document.getElementById("video_section"),
attrs: {
width: 320,
height: 240,
theme: "modern",
themecolor: "red",
"meta-profile":"META PROFILE ID"
}
});
recorder.activate();
recorder.on("verified", function(data){
console.log(data);
});
});
</script>
Javascript doesn't allow using - outside quote when defining object property (CMIIW).

How do I encode HTML characters within Javascript functions?

to all Javascript experts this question might be just basics. I'm using jQuery and I am working on a tooltip created with jQuery.flot.
The following is a part of my javascript function within an html file and this is exactly what I need to have the tooltip div to be rendered correctly:
$('<div id="tooltip">' + contents + '</div>').css( {
Because the div is not shown I used Firebug to look for the reason and the line of code from above shows the special characters < and > encoded as html entities < and > as you can see here:
$('<div id="tooltip">' + contents + '</div>').css( {
I was searching several online sources for a solution and tried things like .replace(/lt;/g,'<') or .html().text() and it took me more than three hours but nothing was helpful.
I works fine on localhost.

This seems to be your problem, or at least the reason why FireBug does show html entities in your code. If you want to use cdata at all, you should place it inside of the <script> tags.
On why the tooltip is not shown at all, I can only guess, but for text content I'd recommend to use
$('<div id="tooltip"></div>').text(contents)
instead of using it as a html string.

You use appendTo(), which is fine.
You append the node only when the plothover flot event is fired.
This is correct, too.
So your code looks fine, you should probably look into this:
Jquery Flot "plothover" event not working
EDIT: You also can put the JS <script> after the HTML.

Do not directly add the contents inside the selector.
1) Create your DOM : var k = $('<div id="tooltip"></div>');
2) Fill your DOM :
// Add after
k.append(contents);
// Replace
k.html(contents);
// Replace and the content is just some text
k.text(contents);
3) Set the CSS : k.css({ ... })
4) Add the DOM to your page k.appendTo('#container');. You can also use $('#container').html(k); to replace the container contents and avoid to have a duplicate
In short :
var k = $('<div id="tooltip"></div>')
.append(contents)
.css({})
.appendTo('#container');
NOTE: The best way is to already create your tooltip div and just fill the elements to avoid to create two div with same ID, ... If you are afraid it perturbs the page, add display : none; to the CSS before to edit it, then change the classes when you edit it.
You will need to create div on 2 conditions :
The pages is created on load with variable number of components
You want to dynamically load CSS or JS.

OKVideo two videos in one page differect sections

Ok so I've done alot of digging and can't find any info on this. I'm trying to get the jquery plugin OkVideo to make 2 "section" tags have a different video in each however even if i rename the container to be specifically ID'd the video loads in one container.
e.g.
<section>
<div id="container1"></div>
</section>
<section>
<div id="container2"></div>
</section>
$('#container1').okvideo({
source: 'Video1 Url',
volume: 0,
loop: true,
hd: false,
adproof: true,
annotations: false
});
$('#container2').okvideo({
source: 'Video2 URL',
volume: 0,
loop: true,
hd: false,
adproof: true,
annotations: false
});
Now the above is causing the 2nd video to overwrite the first video in it's container. Which is not the desired effect. Can someone suggest a similar plugin that allows this or an overwrite to get this to work without recoding half of the plugin javascript?

Right so after a few hours of fighting I finally fixed this by rejigging the okfocus okvideo to take an extra option "newtarget" which identified if there where multiple videos on the page.
if (base.options.newtarget == undefined) {
base.options.newtarget = "";
}
var target = $("#" + base.options.newtarget) || base.options.target || $('body');
var position = target[0] == $('body')[0] ? 'fixed' : 'absolute';
All items being added to the page had the newtarget appended to the id e.g.
target.append('<div id="okplayer' + base.options.newtarget + '" style="pos.....
Then we add the options to the window data setting each option setting to take the newtarget as part of its naming convention(please ensure to format it in lowercase and strip extra '-' etc.)
$(window).data('okoptions' + options.newtarget.replace('-', '').toLowerCase(), base.options);
Then locate the function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() or if vimeo's vimeoPlayerReady() and extended it with a class selector for the videos on the page
$(".videoClass").each(function(e) {
options = jQuery(window).data('okoptions' + $(this).attr('id').replace('-', ''));....
once these have been added you add an unobtrusive function to add all the options
var collection = $(".videoClass");
collection.each(function () {
$("#" + $(this).attr('id')).okvideo({
source: $(this).attr("data-link"),
volume: 0,
loop: true,
hd: false,
adproof: true,
annotations: false,
newtarget: $(this).attr('id')
});
});
This could probably be neatened up but as I was in a rush the is this working solution.

I spent a few hours working on this. This selected solution wasnt very helpful so I have a working, but certainly less than ideal solution. My goal was to have two fullscreen background videos when navigating with jquery.fullPage.js.
OKVideo injects html to enable the video, I grabbed this html for my first video and changed the youtube url, used jquery append to insert the new html video code into proper code section.
One problem I had was that the video didnt repeat properly - but I used jquery to fadeOut the video id once it was concluded. Im sure if you wanted it to repeat you could simply put the code into a js loop.
Here is the code I needed to 'append':
replace the sample video id "HkMNOlYcpHg" with your youtube video id, and replace example.com with your web domain.
jQuery('#section3').append('<div id="okplayer-mask1" style="position:
absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; overflow: hidden; z-index: -998; height: 100%;
width: 100%; background-image: url(data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP
///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw%3D%3D);"></div><iframe id="okplayer1"
style="position:absolute;left:-10%;top:-10%;overflow:hidden;z-index:-999;
height:120%;width:120%;" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="1" title="YouTube video

IFrame not loading with mootools

im trying to get a youtubevideo loaded in an IFrame, but it just wont work. Am I missing something here?
addVideo.addEvent('click', function() {
link = ytlink.get('value');
src = new URI(link);
if(src.get('host') == 'www.youtube.com') {
var videoFrame = new IFrame({
url: 'http://'+src.get('host')+'/embed/'+src.get('data').v,
styles: {
width: 490,
height: 276
},
events: {
onLoad: function() {console.log('fertich');}
}
});
container.grab(videoFrame);
}
addVideo is a link and i was lucky using the grab method til until now.
What is going wrong here? Anything apreciated.
edit: i want the youtube player to show up in the IFrame, but there is nothing in there (though an IFrame element is rendered into the page). Even not if i set url to http://www.google.com/.
This is the IFrame element created:
<iframe url="http://www.google.de" style="width: 490px; height: 276px; " name="IFrame_haxso5aq" id="IFrame_haxso5aq"></iframe>
cheers!

is iFrame attribute you need not 'src' instead of 'url'?
var videoFrame = new IFrame({
src: 'http://'+src.get('host')+'/embed/'+src.get('data').v,
styles: {
width: 490,
height: 276
},
events: {
onLoad: function() {console.log('fertich');}
}
});

Inserting a Div Into another Div?

Im creating a web app and would like to know why the following code is not working. It first creates a element which is then added to the body. I then create another Div element which i would like to place inside the first div element that i created.
Im using MooTools classes to create and initialize objects and it works fine but i just cant seem to get the following code to work. The code is inside aninitialize: function() of a class:
this.mainAppDiv = document.createElement("div");
this.mainAppDiv.id = "mainBody";
this.mainAppDiv.style.width = "100%";
this.mainAppDiv.style.height = "80%";
this.mainAppDiv.style.border = "thin red dashed";
document.body.appendChild(this.mainAppDiv); //Inserted the div into <body>
//----------------------------------------------------//
this.mainCanvasDiv = document.createElement("div");
this.mainCanvasDiv.id = "mainCanvas";
this.mainCanvasDiv.style.width = "600px";
this.mainCanvasDiv.style.height = "400px";
this.mainCanvasDiv.style.border = "thin black solid";
document.getElementById(this.mainAppDiv.id).appendChild(this.mainCanvasDiv.id);
As you can see it first creates a div called "mainBody" and then appends it the document.body, This part of the code works fine. The problem comes from then creating the second div and trying to insert that usingdocument.getElementById(this.mainAppDiv.id).i(this.mainCanvasDiv.id);
Can anyone think of a reason the above code does not work?

Instead of:
document.getElementById(this.mainAppDiv.id).appendChild(this.mainCanvasDiv.id);
Just do:
this.mainAppDiv.appendChild(this.mainCanvasDiv);
This way you are appending the mainCanvesDiv directly to the mainAppDiv. There is no need to getElementById if you already have a reference to an element.

Do like this:
this.mainAppDiv.appendChild(this.mainCanvasDiv);

why do you use mootools yet revert to vanilla js?
this.mainAppDiv = new Element("div", {
id: "mainBody",
styles: {
width: "100%",
height: "80%",
border: "thin red dashed"
}
});
this.mainCanvasDiv = new Element("div", {
id: "mainCanvas",
styles: {
width: 600,
height: 400,
border: "thin black solid"
}
}).inject(this.mainAppDiv);
this.mainAppDiv.inject(document.body);
