Abstract
A system and method for displaying images and video with a web page are disclosed. In one embodiment, images and video may be displayed in a web page by providing a web page including a display window, a timer, and a video retrieval module. The timer may commence upon the web page being downloaded into a browser at a client device. The web page displays a first image in the display window and plays at least a portion of a first video file within the display window in response to entry of a play command. The web page displays a second image in the display window in response to the expiration of a predetermined time as determined by the timer and no entry of the play command.
