html 5 video player

I recently learned some basic HTML 5, and love the new video player. However, I don't know how to make custom controls. Does anyone know how to change what the video controls look like? I already know CSS and HTML 1

HTML 1? That doesn't actually exist.
You mean XHTML 1.0?

Or HTML 4, which is what everyone's been using for about 20 years.

Which everyone simply calls HTML.

Yes, but when compared to HTML 5, we generally would refer to them by version number. Besides, HTML 5 is the next standard. Until IE screws it up  sad

See, the entire computing industry is all like "Goodbye Adobe Flash!" Apple's shunned it (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/), Google's Pacman logo is written entirely in Javascript as a response to Flash, and everyone's complaining about how bad it is. HTML 5 eliminates a number of popular uses of Flash, which means it's going downhill  big_smile

IE9 is getting it. And they even did their own examples in an IE9 example version that tests out html5.

Yeah, I read the technology blogs too  smile

It's just that with every version of Internet Explorer they ignore some web standard that completely screws up every web page you look at. EX: Borders, padding...

But when you think about it, IE is the most compatible browser out there. I know you have come across a webpage that required it.

Have I?

The only reason so many webpages require it is that it's so widely used. Had they followed web standards, every page should work the same in every browser, and IE wouldn't be required on any website.

They will soon meet all the web standards. I know it.

And yes, you have. Everyone has.

You still haven't managed to change my opinion on IE - after 5 years of bad experiences with it, my opinion won't be changed easily. (BTW - it's also the slowest browser out there, though I heard they're working on fixing this with IE9.)

Re: html 5 video player

okay, I was using html 4. Sorry. Well here's my question re-phrased. I love that HTML 5 has the new <video> tag, but how do you change what the controls look like? I have seen people make custom controls for it, but how is that done? And IE is the worst browser ever! Extremely slow, and can't do HTML 5, which combined with javascript, can rival flash.

You could try looking at the page source(right-click and view page source).

@Everyone else: Stop bickering about IE, it has almost nothing to do with this guy's problems. I just asked him if he was actually using "HTML 1.0"(Which doesn't have standards at all).
