How to show Captions in an external container using JWPlayer v8 - accessibility

Our videos use the lower third of the page for introductions, etc. much like TV News stations do. When captions are on, they're blocking all of that, thus creating a LOT of complaints from the communities that need the captions. I've tried tinkering with the CSS, but with a responsive layout, resizing the player wreaks havoc, often putting them out of sight altogether.
Is there a setting that can be changed, or technique to use, that will keep the captions at the top and in view when resized, OR in an external container?

Problem: the JW player 608 live captions are not formatted cleanly.
To solve this, disable the JW caption display and format our own window, named "ccbuffer"
<style type="text/css">
.jw-captions {
display: none !important;
}
#ccbuffer {
border: 2px solid white !important;
border-radius: 4px;
background-color: black !important;
display: flex;
height: 120px;
margin-top: 6px;
font: 22px bold arial, sans-serif;
color: white;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
}
</style>
Here is where I show the player, and ccbuffer is a div right below it
<div id="myPlayer">
<p style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold; font-size: x-large; border-style: solid; border-color: #E2AA4F">
Loading video...
</p>
</div>
<div id="ccbuffer" />
DOMSubtreeModified is deprecated. Use MutationObserver, which is less stressful on the client.
Let's hook the 'captionsChanged' event from JW. if track is 0 then no captions are selected and we disconnect the observer. If captions are selected, then we use jquery to pull the text out of the jw-text-track-cue element, and format it into a nice 3 line display in our ccbuffer window.
<script>
var observer;
jwplayer().on('captionsChanged', function (event) {
if (event.track == 0) {
observer.disconnect();
$('#ccbuffer').hide('slow');
}
else {
$('#ccbuffer').show('slow');
// select the target node
var target = document.querySelector('.jw-captions');
// create an observer instance
observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
$('.jw-text-track-cue').each(function(i) {
if (i == 0)
$('#ccbuffer').html( $(this).text() );
else
$('#ccbuffer').append("<br/>" + $(this).text() );
});
});
// configuration of the observer:
var config = { attributes: true, childList: true, characterData: true }
// pass in the target node, as well as the observer options
observer.observe(target, config);
}
});
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#ccbuffer').hide();
});
</script>
So when the user enables captions, the ccbuffer window will slide open and display a clean 3 line representation of the CC text.

Final Solution: External Captions that are draggable/resizable
All credit to #Basildane, I worked out how to extenalize the captions with VOD, and to make them draggable and resizable, with CSS experimentation for ADA consideration:

var mainContainer = document.getElementById("myData");
for (var i = 0; i < data.results.length; i++) {
var img = document.createElement("img");
// New code
// Add a id to the image
img.setAttribute("id", "popup-image" + (i + 1));
img.src = data.results[i].picture.large;
img.classList.add("popup-img");
img.setAttribute("data-data", JSON.stringify(data.results[i]));
mainContainer.appendChild(img);
// Old code
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.innerHTML = "first: " + data.results[i].name.first + " First Name :" + data.results[i].name.last;
mainContainer.appendChild(div);
// if (i == data.results.length - 1) clickOnImg();
}
for (let i = 0; i < data.results.length; i++) {
document.querySelector(`#popup-image${i + 1}`).addEventListener("click", function () {
var firstName = data.results[i].name.first;
var lastName = data.results[i].name.last;
showData(firstName, lastName, i + 1);
});
}
}
// This function shows the modal with data in it
function showData(firstName, lastName, index) {
var popupBox = document.createElement("div");
popupBox.style.display = "flex";
popupBox.setAttribute("id", "popupBoxOverlay_{i}");
popupBox.classList.add("popupBox");
popupBox.innerHTML = `<div class="modal">

Double scrollbar with shrinking toolbar

Go fullscreen, scroll to the bottom of the page, and press a button to load more images. The problem I'm having: I am trying to get the toolbar at the top of the screen to disappear when scrolling down, and appear again when scrolling up. However, 2 scrollbars appear, and only the right one affects the toolbar.The left scrollbar actually scrolls all the way down on the page.
My desired situation: only 1 visible scrollbar to scroll down the entire gallery, that also makes the toolbar appear and disappear. How do I do this?
try adding overflow-y: hidden; to the body css rule.

Turn cell content to editable input box

When creating a fluid layout, where content can be dragged around and edited inside a table I ran into a problem.
After clicking on any of the <a></a> hyperlinks the cell content should be replaced by an editable input box.
This gets done, but the cell changes its size and wrecks the original layout.
The cell size should not change after click. It should be possible to achieve this by editing the CSS and adding Bootstrap classes.
var viewModel = function() {
var self = this;
self.gridItems = ko.observableArray(
[{
"rowItems": [{
"name": "Item 1"
}, {
"name": "Item 2"
}, {
"name": "Item 3"
}]
}, {
"rowItems": [{
"name": "Item 4"
}, {
"name": "Item 5"
}]
}]
);
self.selectedRowItem = ko.observable();
};
//connect items with observableArrays
ko.bindingHandlers.sortableList = {
init: function(element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor, context) {
$(element).data("sortList", valueAccessor()); //attach meta-data
$(element).sortable({
update: function(event, ui) {
var item = ui.item.data("sortItem");
if (item) {
//identify parents
var originalParent = ui.item.data("parentList");
var newParent = ui.item.parent().data("sortList");
//figure out its new position
var position = ko.utils.arrayIndexOf(ui.item.parent().children(), ui.item[0]);
if (position >= 0) {
originalParent.remove(item);
newParent.splice(position, 0, item);
}
ui.item.remove();
}
},
connectWith: '.sortable-container'
});
}
};
//attach meta-data
ko.bindingHandlers.sortableItem = {
init: function(element, valueAccessor) {
var options = valueAccessor();
$(element).data("sortItem", options.item);
$(element).data("parentList", options.parentList);
}
};
//control visibility, give element focus, and select the contents (in order)
ko.bindingHandlers.visibleAndSelect = {
update: function(element, valueAccessor) {
ko.bindingHandlers.visible.update(element, valueAccessor);
if (valueAccessor()) {
setTimeout(function() {
$(element).focus().select();
}, 0); //new RowItems are not in DOM yet
}

On your table, set table-layout to fixed. Another improvement would be to make the inputs take up the entire space of the cell.
Here are the css changes to make:
.sortable-item input {
display: block;
margin: 0 !important;
width: 100%; /* Added this property */
}
/* Added this rule */
.sortable-row > table {
table-layout: fixed;
}

Google Places API mapping a company

I'm trying to plot a marker in a Google Map where a company is, so for example I am looking for the Apple Store in Aberdeen, Scotland I would like a marker there and when I click the marker it will show the info window with the company details which is generated from Google with reviews etc.
I can't find any documentation on how to do this, but the closest I found is a Company Lookup which then points you to the location. I'd rather be able to cut out the start and just have the company name already in the code and pointing the map straight to the location.
Could anyone possibly help at all? Thanks

The "google" infowindow isn't available from the Places API, you need to build it yourself from the information available in the places details response or link to a google map.

Highlight a area with Google Maps JavaScript API v3

I want to highlight a area like on the image below which is taken from Google Maps. Is this possible to accomplish with the current version of their API (v3)? If yes, how?
Thanks in advance.
You need to know the vertices of the area and create a polygon based on them.
But dashed strokes currently are not supported by polygons, if you require to have a dashed stroke you must create a sequence of polylines with different stroke-colors based on the vertices.
A built-in method to highlight an area currently doesn't exist.
You can automatically highlight an area with Google Maps Javascript API, here is an example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Place ID Finder</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
#map {
height: 100%;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#ggg
{
position: absolute;
left:20%;
top:5%;
}
.controls {
background-color: #fff;
border-radius: 2px;
border: 1px solid transparent;
box-shadow: 0 2px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
box-sizing: border-box;
font-family: Roboto;
font-size: 15px;
font-weight: 300;
height: 29px;
margin-left: 17px;
margin-top: 10px;
outline: none;
padding: 0 11px 0 13px;
text-overflow: ellipsis;
width: 400px;
}
.controls:focus {
border-color: #4d90fe;

}
#infowindow-content {

}
#map #infowindow-content {

You will need to replace API KEY with your API KEY. Try e.g."Nea Smyrni 171 21, Greece" in the input and then select the first drop down option and notice that it automatically highlights the area!
