No problem but how does MP4 playlist code work on Firefox only
My homemade family web page uses this code to display a large list of mp4 videos links displayed around a common Iframe center where each video plays:
<li><a href="video1inlist.mp4" target="mediaplayer"><span>VIDEO 01 IN LIST</span></a></li>
(See attached images) Clicking on a link displays the mp4 videos in the iframe but without using the HTML5 <video> code which doesn't seem to allow for simple playlist configuration. This page and the videos display beautifully with Firefox for which I give many thanks.
I'm not a big Java expert but I do enjoy making home web pages at age 76 having hundreds of megs of digitized old family video cassettes. I just wondered why Firefox works with this simple code while Chrome and iExplore have problems.

You can try to ask advice at the Stack Overflow forum site.
The question is why Chrome and IE don't play an MP4 when it is directed to open "stand alone" in an iframe? Do they play the MP4 if directed to open it in a new tab or window? Usually an iframe will behave the same, but there may be differences due to security concerns.
Before MP4 and HTML5 became a streaming standard I used the .ASX playlist feature for Windows Media .WMV videos which allowed me to place a list video links around a common display area as shown in my images above. I find this page format perfect for giving family members the options for choosing any videos on the list which does not require opening another tab or page. I was hoping HTML5 would include such a simple playlist code so my conversion of .WMV videos to MP4 would allow me to keep this user friendly format without relying on more complex code. Making family web pages is a hobby so I like to keep things simple and I really appreciate whatever it is that lets Firefox function on my family web page video section.
