>>I do not know how to overlay the play button—It seems that freedumb2003 has done what he wants, or maybe I’m misunderstanding the question.<<
I got halfway there — I can get the image I want but I ALSO want to get the play button gif to sit on top of the image from the movie. This would perfectly simulate how other sites have “Video” or “Youtube”meta-tags.
All the google-fu I have used suggest using CSS div meta-tags but we don’t seem to support that here.
Anyone know any old HTML techniques to accomplish getting one picture on top of another?
Thanks!
Old-timer's hack might work -- make a 1-cell table, use the movie image as the "background image" of that cell, and then position the play button as the content image of the cell, using something like "ALIGN=center" and "VALIGN=middle" to place it in the middle of the cell (you might not need both of those aligns if you use a TH rather than a TD for the cell).
Roughly off the top-o'-my-head (I haven't tried this):
<TABLE BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING0=0>Something like that anyway....
<TR>
<TH ALIGN=center VALIGN=middle>
<IMG SRC="https:/www.youtube.com/...the_youtube_URL...">
</TH>
</TR>
</TABLE>
