    text
    copied!<p>Hi I am working on HTML5 Video Player, Currently i am experiencing a wierd error. I am able to play the video fine in IE and Chrome fine, however, when i dynamically want to change the video source via java script, i ran into troubles. Chrome change the video source without any problem however IE9 keep the previous video intect and just does not change. Safari also works fine.</p> <p>I did try to search in stackoverflow and found quite a few same questions and tried almost every answer but it seems IE has its own style of working or i am missing something. Just to be sure i switch the files in order to verify both videos are working in IE9 and both do, however they just dont play when i try to manipulate them via javascript. a sample code is below</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="video"&gt; &lt;video id="example_video_2" class="video-js" width="640" height="264" controls="controls" preload="auto" &gt; &lt;source src="song.mp4" type='video/mp4; codecs="avc1.42E01E, mp4a.40.2"' /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>while javascript is as simple </p> <pre><code>function myNewSrc() { var myVideo = document.getElementById('example_video_2'); // myVideo.src = ""; myVideo.src = "120235_VIDHIGH.mov"; //alert(myVideo.src); myVideo.load(); myVideo.play(); //changeMovieSource('song.mp4','something'); //$("#example_video_2 &gt; source").attr("src", "120235_VIDHIGH.mov"); //alert($("#example_video_2 &gt; source").attr("src")); } </code></pre>
