# Introducing FitVids.js
A lightweight, easy-to-use jQuery plugin for fluid width video embeds.
FitVids automates [the Intrinsic Ratio Method by Thierry Koblentz](http://www.alistapart.com/articles/creating-intrinsic-ratios-for-video/) to achieve fluid width videos in your responsive web design.
## How Do I Use It?
Include jQuery 1.7+ and FitVids.js in your layout and target your videos container with `fitVids()`.
```html
<script src="path/to/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/jquery.fitvids.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
// Target your .container, .wrapper, .post, etc.
$("#thing-with-videos").fitVids();
});
</script>
```
This will wrap each video in a `div.fluid-width-video-wrapper` and apply the necessary CSS. After the initial Javascript call, it's all percentage-based CSS magic.
## Currently Supported Players

## Add Your Own Video Vendor
Have a custom video player? We now have a `customSelector` option where you can add your own specific video vendor selector (_mileage may vary depending on vendor and fluidity of player_):
```javascript
$("#thing-with-videos").fitVids({ customSelector: "iframe[src^='http://mycoolvideosite.com'], iframe[src^='http://myviiids.com']"});
// Selectors are comma separated, just like CSS
```
_Note:_ This will be the quickest way to add your own custom vendor as well as test your player's compatibility with FitVids.
