Hey guys,

I was wondering whether anyone has tried to use the new tag that comes with HTML5 on the iPhone. Specifically, I didn't manage to make the pause() command to work. Below is a portion of the page. As you can see, I'm trying to pause the video 10sec after it started. It works on Safari on a Mac btw. Has anyone managed to make this work?

<head>
<javascript language="JavaScript">

function timeUpdate()
{
 var myVideo = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
 var time = myVideo.currentTime;
 if (time > 10)
 {
  myVideo.pause();
 }
}

function addListeners()
{
 var myVideo = document.getElementsByTagName('video')[0];
 myVideo.addEventListener('timeupdate',timeUpdate,false);
}

</script>
</head>

<body onload="addListeners()">
 <video controls src="resources/bb_poor_cinderella_512kb.mp4" 
  poster="resources/background.png">
  Video tag not supported!
 </video>
</body>

Thanks,
Ariel
