First: there's a thing called Google. Second: if THAT looks like Chinese, then what the hell are you doing editing code? I frequently wish myself back to the "good old days" when not everyone thought they could code because they could copy-paste text. Third: Chinese or not, it's in English - logic should apply that a value called "autoStart" would affect the issue at hand.
I don't think the original poster made any such claims. He asked a question with something he was having trouble with. For someone who isn't a programmer or web developer that would look like Chinese (figuratively not literally). I'm quite sure he never saw the "autoStart" or it didn't seem obvious. I remember back in the late 90s when I was learning HTML I did some pretty dumb things. I also asked questions where the answer was obvious. I just wasn't sure. Instead of belittling a newbie why not just help.... I mean...this is a help forum. Right? 90% of the questions here have obvious answers to me...but not according to the person asking. *rolls eyes*
There's a difference between questions which might not be obvious, and questions where you can find the answer via a simple Google search - if you look at the script name, and put in "http://admin.brightcove.com/js/BrightcoveExperiences.js remove autoplay" in Google, this is the third link: http://support.brightcove.com/en/video-cloud/docs/player-configuration-parameters This is not a question open for interpretation, it's a very specific issue, which WILL have a solution on Google (in at least 99% of cases). Yes, by all means, help newbies - but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't tell newbies to learn how to solve their own problems, preferably by searching through stuff being asked before. I'm sorry - I don't have patience enough for people coming here asking about homework, finished code, etc. We're not here to build a system for anyone, we're here to provide people help to learn what they need to do by themselves. If a person asks a question, I expect the following: 1. that the person knows how to use a forum - that includes CODE-tags and such. 2. that the person have tried to solve this themselves, and can provide some sort of summary of what they've tried. 3. that the person is worth helping - hence, the person asking needs to be able to follow logic, understand that their way might not be the right way, nor the best way, nor even a smart way, and adapt. Most people here are capable of at least 2 out of 3 - which gives me an inkling to help them. Some are definitely not. This one needs to sit down, do the basic tutorials in CodeAcademy or similar online training facilities, and learn some stuff, before heading off and creating a mess which is way too easy to exploit. There's a reason over 1 million webpages around the world are constantly infected with malware and similar. Mostly it's because the people running them have no clue what they're doing.
Quit it... You can find the answer to every question on google. We might as well close down digital point then.... 99% of all questions asked have an answer that can be found by searching for it. Which is why I never post questions here. However, I'm perfectly ok with people asking "dumb" questions here because this site is all about helping each other out. I can't imagine there being a single post here if everyone took the extra time to search for their answers...
Completely agree with you. Sometimes people are posting questions to bump up their post count. Some people actually have 0 experience in the internet with coding and what seems so obvious to us may look like "chinese" to some.
Everyone have been a 0-level once. That doesn't mean we asked these types of questions. Besides, not everything can be found on Google, especially when it comes to specific coding questions.
