How to keep controls visible - youtube-iframe-api

I've embedded a YouTube video on my blog. I want the controls to be visible, i.e. I don't want them to disappear. I've set controls=2 and autohide=0 in the embed line, but the controls disappear after a few seconds.

Unfortunately, the autohide parameter has been deprecated for HTML5 players.
See: https://developers.google.com/youtube/player_parameters#autohide

iframe, allowing clicking but disable scrolling

This is a duplicate question of Disable all scrolling in an iframe, but allow clicking but I'm going to risk asking it again because that question was asked in 2014 and no solution was found (except that it can't be done). I'm desperately trying to find out if this can be done now. Therefore I would like to post this question again:
I'm trying to disable all forms of scrolling in my iframe, but still allow the user to click a button that appears in the iframe. I've successfully disabled all forms of scrolling (scroll bars, mouse wheel, etc) by using scrolling="no" and style="pointer-events: none;", however the later disables all forms of clicking to. Is it possible to prevent all forms of scrolling while still allowing the use to click within the iframe to inter-act with a button?
Unfortunately I don't have control over the iframe's content.
Possibly there is a way how to do this now after so many years? If so, I'd be very happy to hear about it. I checked all kinds of similar question of clicking and scrolling iframes but I did not find a solution yet.
Hmm... Honestly, I've never tried that.
But I imagine you could put a div over the suface of the iframe (as if it was a transparent overlay), and then when the user clicks the invisible div (that is on the iframe) then triggering a click event on the iframe?
If you happen to need the click's coordinates then make sure the div has got the exact same dimensions of the iframe (but with less z-index, so you make sure it's ON it) and then pass the div's click event coords to the iframe's click event you are gonna trigger.
Let me know if this works!
Regards.

Setting Busy cursor for the html page with iframes having flex applications

I have a html page with 4 iframes out of these 4 one is a static html page and other 3 are html generated by flex. I have a button and list in one of the flex applications and the list will be populated on click of the button. Now what I want is to have a custom busy cursor to appear on the top of the whole html page until the list gets populated.
Please tell me if its possible with an example.
Thanks in advance

OK, you can not have flex control the cursor over areas of the page not part of the flash player. But here's what you can do. Call external javascript from flex, then use JS to do the cursor.
Here's how to call JS from flex:

How should I design my page to allow for dynamic movement of elements on the page?

I'm working on an ASP.NET page where I've got 10 entities. I'll call them Items. An Item can be displayed in one of two modes: Featured or Thumbnail. At any given time there is one Featured Item at the top of the page, and the rest are Thumbnails arranged in a 3x3 grid underneath the featured Item Each item is an ASP usercontrol that contains two divs: one div for Featured and one for Thumbnail -- when the item is Featured, the Thumbnail div is set as invisible and vice versa.
My current goal is to be able to click on any of the Thumbnails and have it physically swap places with the currently featured item to make the clicked Thumbnail become the new current Featured item at the top of the page. The eventual goal is to use jQuery to animate the movement but this is only a side consideration at this point. Also please note that I am trying to do all this without the use of page refreshes (i.e. I wish to use AJAX or javascript)
Here are some of the possibilities that I have been thinking about:
Put the entire page inside an UpdatePanel and rearrange which Item usercontrol goes to which placeholder (i'm using placeholders)
Pros: easy
Cons: VERY INEFFICIENT. Each Item already has a couple UpdatePanels in them despite my trying to minimize my use of them
Use jQuery/javascript to swap the order of the items' occurrences within the page
Pros: simply swapping the order would work because I have the items arranged by floating
Cons: my javascript/jquery is weak, and if a user ever navigates away and comes back the change will not persist.
Dear web dev wizards out there, what would you do if you were in my shoes?
This feels a bit like a slide show. As such, I'd go strictly client side javascript. I wouldn't worry too much about state persistence though you could do that if you want by setting a cookie or appending the url with anchor hashes.
Also, at that point, you wouldn't really need multiple DIVs for each item. You could, via the jQuery move the div itself and then change the SRC attribute (and CSS) of the image to go fetch the larger one.

fileUpload control appearance

I use fileUpload control in asp.net web page, so how could I control the "browse" button, just like any other button?
etc. I want to change "browse button" back color, border style.
Thank you in advance.
how could I control the "browse" button, just like any other button?
What makes you sure there will be a browse button? That's up to the web browser; some might not have a text-plus-browse arrangment at all. In particular Safari arranges the control quite differently.
For reasons of security, and because there is no standardisation about what a file upload control should look like, CSS gives you almost no control of the style of file upload controls.
Whilst the opacity hack mentioned in phoenix's link does kind of work, I wouldn't recommend it at all. There's no guarantee of getting the ‘clickable’ part of the input control lined up with the part of your ersatz control that looks clickable. Even on a single browser, different fonts and other settings will mess it up. For example on my browser with the quirksmode example only the right half of the textbox is clickable to open the browse dialogue; clicking the faux-button does nothing and clicking the left edge of focuses the faux-textbox. With fake-input you will be offering a shoddy and in the worst case broken experience to many of your visitors.
Live with the default upload styling, or augment it with a Flash uploader in the progressive-enhancement manner.
You can add a div layer on top of the fileupload control and style the div layer. Make the file upload control transparent by setting its opacity.
A good one

Modal Pop-up Image Viewer for Asp.net

I am looking for a control which can show me selected image detail view which is actually gonna be bigger image in a modal pop up to show a better view of image to my customers. You know those standard modal pop-up resizeable to selected image original size. Dynamicly resizable modal pop-up is actually what I am looking for and of course it should be for Asp.net (if possible for 3.5)
I've searching for a while but I haven't been able to come up with a acceptable solution yet.
Thanks in advance.
Although not asp.net, but rather javascript based, Lightbox is the granddaddy of displaying a popup with a larger image. http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
There are many other similar open-source client-side 'controls' that would do what you want.
You may also need to roll your own from jQuery of YUI to build the resizeable requirement that you want.
You might want to have a look at Telerik:
http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax.aspx
The have some controls that would probably get the job done.
Otherwise search for Infragistics, they have similar controls.
