Help! $25.00 for the first person to fix it. Safari issues with video in InfoWindow

[Tyler]

I am trying to load a video in the infoWindow and it seems to work
fine in firefox and internet explorer but does not work in safari 4.
Please help! I know it isn't much but I will give you 25.00 via
paypal.

Thank you,
Tyler

P.S. here is the Website: http://www.pineapple.la/map.html

It opens a blank video in chrome also.

When you drag the map around as the infowindow is opened, you'kk see the video re-appearing when the infowindow position and video position match. 

It's a known bug of all webkit browsers when using embed objects (such as flash or video) inside DOM elements where a CSS transform is applied.

The only work-around at this stage is to display the infowindow in the map.getDiv() element and calculating it's position using an dummy OverlayView.

Not a simple task.

Thank you so much for responding. That sounds super confusing. I
think I will just link it to a page with a video on it. I hope they
fix this bug soon.

Thanks again,
Tyler

[en4ce]

what about just put an IFRAME in the infowindow and load the video
throu that ?

[Tyler]

Great idea! But it still didn't work. It only works if i switch it
to satellite view then back to regular map view.

Oh well. Thanks guys. I hope they fix the bug.

This fixed it for me in Chrome and Safari:

iframe { -webkit-transform:translate3d(0,0,0); }
