Incorporating Chemistry Comes Alive! into WWW Pages
Using Chemistry Comes Alive! imagery in WWW pages requires very little knowledge beyond what you should already know about using pictures (as JPEG files) and embedded objects. We will focus here on embedding CCA! video files into WWW pages using the freely available Netscape Composer and Front Page Express applications that come bundled with Netscape Communicator and Internet Explorer, respectively. Other HTML authoring pages should provide similar approaches.
 
Embedding CCA! Video Files Using Netscape Composer
Position your cursor where your would like to insert the CCA! video clip on your page. From the menu bar choose Insert > HTML Tag... Into the dialog that appears type

<embed src="example.mov" width="320" height="256">

and click OK. Substitute for "example" the name of the actual movie file.
 

Embedding CCA! Video Files Using Front Page Express

Position your cursor where your would like to insert the CCA! video clip on your page. From the menu bar choose Insert > Other Components > Plug-In... In the resulting dialog select the Browse... button for Data Source. From the Select Plug-In Data Source dialog choose From File and then Browse... to locate the CCA video file. Once you have selected the file for the data source, then specify the Plug-In Properties: Size: Height: 256, Width: 320.
 

The HTML <embed> and <object> Tags
CCA! video is embedded into WWW pages using the QuickTime plug-in. The QuickTime plug-in is installed with the QuickTime software. Adding plug-in objects to WWW pages is done using the HTML tags <embed> or <object>.

Note: The <embed> tag was never adopted in the HTML standard although major WWW browsers support it. The HTML standard (v. 4) uses the <object> tag. However, <object> is currently not as well supported by all browsers.

When using <embed> or <object> you must specify the src attribute and should also minimally specify the width and height attributes. CCA! video has a size of 320 x 240 pixels. In order to accommodate the height of the QuickTime movie controller, an additional 16 pixels is added to the specified height.

<embed src="example.mov" width="320" height="256">

Using JCE Video

Obtaining JCE Video

Chemistry Comes Alive!
CCA! is the fount of JCE video. With over 800 video clips and 1000s of pictures, CCA! provides a wealth of outstanding, digital chemistry imagery.

Examples
The following JCE Software publications provide outstanding examples of the use of JCE video.
