One example is an interactive banner that expands and then you can click another button to play a video. The video is considered subsequent load. |

Submission Lead Time
Three working days prior before campaign start. HTML5, 5 working days. Note that these deadlines apply to material that is completely ready to go live. Any adjustments must be made prior to submission lead time.
Minimum Required Controls

Mute (volume control to zero (0) output may be included instead of or in addition to Mute control).
Labelling Requirements
If unit is not clearly distinguishable from normal webpage content. Please use a border minimum density of #B5B5B5 and 1 pixel thick.

All external calls to images, CSS and JS files must be SSL compliant. .TTF and .OTF files are NOT allowed. All HTML5 files should be provided as one zip file. Using the HTML “mailto” is not permitted. If the advertiser requires detailed tracking linking to PDF’s should be avoided.
Implementation Notes & Best Practices
Best Practice: For times when the user’s browser does not support creative functionality (i.e. Javascript, Flash™, HTML5), provide a standard backup image file (JPG, GIF or PNG).
