All quiet on the ...

Quiet days yesterday and today. So far just thrown up a page with a couple video's for a PR that's going out today. The main site we're working on is supposed to go up shortly, but they have yet to actually choose a domain for it! Oh well.. chicken or the egg, either way they'll have a site.

Tried to help MS out yesterday (front end developer) with a problem related to the video's on the page. There are basically 5. One in the main spot, and one beneath it which load with the page. When the user clicks on one of the movies to see details (which open in smoothbox) both of them need to stop. This is all working OK, the error occurs because each of those movies has also a trailer link, which then brings each of the (up to 3) trailers into replace the on load trailer. For some reason the variable he was passing to detect which of them was playing, so to know which one to stop, then restart once smoothbox was done, just wasn't working!
I made some suggestions about how to pass the variable differently, but I believe it is still not working. Sometimes the simplest things about the most basic interface can get really hard to make work! Like the smoothbox + ajax error, which is still not resolved. There must be someone out there who's got it to work before, I just have to find out who that is?!
