HTML5 Video Element on iPad doesn't fire onclick?
- by bhups
I am using the video element in my HTML as following:<div id="container" style="background:black; overflow:hidden;width:320px;height:240px"
<video style="background:black;display:block" id="vdo" height="240px" width="320px" src="http://mydomain/vid.mp4"</video</div
And in javascript I am doing this:var video=document.getElementById('vdo');
var container=document.getElementById('container');
video.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log("clicked");
}, false);
container.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
console.log("clicked");
}, false);
On desktop safari/chrome everything is working fine. I can see two "clicked" in the console. But on ipad there is nothing. First I tried with iOS versin 3.2, then I updated it to the latest one 4.2.1 without any success.I found a similar question HTML5 Video Element on iPad doesn't fire onclick or touchstart events? where it suggests not to use controls in video tag and I am not using it.
