HTML5 <video> elements also have methods, properties, and events.
The methods are used for playing, pausing, loading, and so on. The properties (such as length, volume, etc.) can be read or set. DOM events can inform you, for example, that the,<video> element starts playing, paused, stopped, and so on.
The simple method in the following example shows us how to use the <video> element, read and set properties, and how to invoke a method.
InstanceCreate a simple play/pause and resize control for your video:
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML> <Body> <Divstyle= "Text-align:center;"> <!--Add button, input button can be -<inputtype= "button"value= "Play/pause"onclick= "Playstop ()"></input> <Buttononclick= "Makebig ()">Big</Button> <Buttononclick= "Makenormal ()">In</Button> <Buttononclick= "Makesmall ()">Small</Button> <BR/> <!--Introducing Video - <VideoID= "Video1"width= "420"style= "margin-top:15px;"><!--the format of the first row of the browser default - <Sourcesrc= "/example/html5/mov_bbb.mp4"type= "Video/mp4" /> <Sourcesrc= "/example/html5/mov_bbb.ogg"type= "Video/ogg" />Your Browser does not support HTML5 video. </Video></Div> <Scripttype= "Text/javascript">varMyvideo=document.getElementById ("Video1"); /*Play Stop*/functionPlaystop () {if(myvideo.paused) Myvideo.play ();Elsemyvideo.pause ();}/*zoom in, set your own size, take care not to add PX*/functionMakebig () {myvideo.width= the; } functionMakesmall () {myvideo.width= the; } functionMakenormal () {myvideo.width=420; } </Script> </Body> </HTML>View CodeControls property to add a play, pause, volume control. The content inserted under the video tag is displayed for browsers that do not support video .
<src= "/i/movie.ogg" width= "" " height=" controls= "Controls">
The example uses an Ogg file for Firefox, Opera, and Chrome.
To ensure that the video file must be of type MPEG4 for Safari browser.
The video element allows multiple source elements. The source element can link different video files. The browser will use the first recognizable format.
Video formatCurrently, the video element supports three types of videos:
| format | IE | Firefox | Opera | Chrome | Safari |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ogg | No | 3.5+ | 10.5+ | 5.0+ | No |
| MPEG 4 | 9.0+ | No | No | 5.0+ | 3.0+ |
| WebM | No | 4.0+ | 10.6+ | 6.0+ | No |
OGG = Ogg file with Theora video encoding and Vorbis audio encoding
MPEG4 = MPEG 4 file with H + video encoding and AAC audio encoding
WebM = WebM file with VP8 video encoding and Vorbis audio encoding
