Implementing HTML5 Video on the iPhone
Jonathan Stark outlines some quick notes about implementing HTML5 video on the iPhone:
- Poster image is only displayed until the video is loaded.
- True/false attributes do not require values.
- Video can be played (and heard) even when not visible.
i.e. video { display: none }- The autoplay attribute is ignored on iPhone.
i.e. will not autoplay no matter what- The controls attribute is ignored on iPhone.
i.e. controls are visible no matter what- The remote file is downloaded whether or not the user clicks play.
- You can interact with the DOM while iPhone video player is open.
- You can make a video autoplay on iPhone by navigating directly to the video url. However, this is useless within the context of an Ajax app because it spawns a browser window.
