EDIT: I have found the solution, posted and marked as the best answer below.
I'm coding a portfolio website for myself using HTML, CSS and JS and I need to add multiple videos on a lot of pages.
I followed some tutorials to learn how to customize the video player, but it only works for one specific video on the page. If I were to add more videos, I'd need to have one .js custom player file for each video and manually select them on the website.
How can I apply this single .js custom video player to all of my videos using purely javascript?
I have found similar topics about the subject here, but all of them uses jQuery and I'm struggling to make it work with javascript.
My HTML for the video player:
<section class="videoplayer">
<div class="c-video">
<div id="video_player">
<video src="./media/portfolio/videos/Show-Reel-2021.mp4" id="main-video"></video>

You will also need to do the same with Javascript as well as ensure that there aren't multiple instance of the same id. This shouldn't be too hard as you can switch similiar styles to class and make the id's something like video-1, video-2, video-3, etc.
A couple notes
sources: this is an array of all video urls you wish to display on the page.
sources.map: will iterate through the array and interpolate a string with the video player HTML and video source
videoPlayers: is now an array of HTML markup
container: will be a parent element on the page where you wish to append all the HTML markup
I HAVE FOUND THE SOLUTION
For anyone in the future seeking for the same solution, I was able to make it work by first selecting every videoplayer div:
const videoContainers = document.querySelectorAll(".video-container")
Then using the .forEach() function so that the code will generate a button for every individual videoplayer:
videoContainers.forEach((container) => {
let playPauseBtn = container.querySelector(".play-pause-btn");
let theaterBtn = container.querySelector(".theater-btn");
let fullScreenBtn = container.querySelector(".full-screen-btn");
...
// The entire code for one videoplayer
}
You can reference "container" for the individual videoplayer or "document" for every videoplayer at once. It just works like magic!
I've setup a play/pause video button in javascript, that was working, but now doesn't and I don't know why. It now only fires once, pausing but not playing.
Basically, the "if" part of my playButton function works correctly, but the "else" part doesn't seem to function correctly. It did previously, so I imagine there's just a missing element somewhere. I have even checked it in a code validator and it passes. What to do?
Please, see my code below...
window.onload = function() {
const video = document.getElementById('intro-video');
const playPause = document.getElementById('play-button');
const enlarge = document.getElementById('full-screen');
const progressBar = document.getElementById('progress-bar');
playPause.addEventListener('click', function playButton() {
if (video.play) {
video.pause()
playPause.innerHTML = 'Play Video'
playPause.style.backgroundImage = 'url(https://alcove.bensmiles.com/wp-content/uploads/Alcove-Icon_Play.svg)'
} else {
video.play()
playPause.innerHTML = 'Pause Video'
playPause.style.backgroundImage = 'url(https://alcove.bensmiles.com/wp-content/uploads/Alcove-Icon_Pause.svg)'
}
});
enlarge.addEventListener('click', function enlarge() {
if (video.requestFullscreen) {
video.requestFullscreen();
} else if (video.mozRequestFullScreen) {
video.mozRequestFullScreen(); // Firefox
} else if (video.webkitRequestFullscreen) {
video.webkitRequestFullscreen(); // Chrome and Safari
}
});
progressBar.addEventListener('change', function progressBar() {
const time = video.duration * (progressBar.value / 100);
video.currentTime = time;
});
video.addEventListener('timeupdate', function progressTime() {
const value = (100 / video.duration) * video.currentTime;
progressBar.value = value;
});
progressBar.addEventListener('mousedown', function progressPause() {
video.pause();
});
progressBar.addEventListener('mouseup', function progressPlay() {
video.play();
});
};

video.play references the play method of video. In Javascript, every non-null (non-zero, etc respectively) counts as true. Because the play method exists, it will never go to the else part. Instead, use if (!video.paused).
Just one more thing: decide whether to use semicolons or to not. If you use both styles, it makes the code a bit weird.
Try this:
playPause.addEventListener('click', function playButton() {
if (video.paused || video.ended) {
video.play()
playPause.innerHTML = 'Pause Video'
playPause.style.backgroundImage = 'url(https://alcove.bensmiles.com/wp-content/uploads/Alcove-Icon_Pause.svg)'
} else {
video.pause()
playPause.innerHTML = 'Play Video'
playPause.style.backgroundImage = 'url(https://alcove.bensmiles.com/wp-content/uploads/Alcove-Icon_Play.svg)'
}
});
Im trying to hide and show a few cards in bootstrap, but I can't figure it out.
All cards have the class card (of course) and im trying to hide all those cards when a button is clicked. Here is what I have now:
function myFunction() {
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".card").hide();
});
var game = document.getElementById("game").value;
var resolution = document.getElementById("resolution").value;
var graphic = document.getElementById("graphic").value;
if (game == "Black" && graphic == "high" && resolution == "1080") {
alert("Hello " + game + "! You will now be redirected to www.w3Schools.com");
} else if (book == "Red") {
} else if (book == "Green") {
} else {
}
}
The call for the function is correct cause the alert does work properly.
For some reason the
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$(".card").hide();
});
part does work when outside the js function (when it's not connected to the button).
No idea if it helps but here is also a snipped of my bootstrap doc:
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="btn" onclick="myFunction()">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
<!-- Results -->
<div class="card" id="p2" style="width:200px; margin:30px">

Here the things I've tried already:
The toggle How to hide and show bootstrap 4 cards by hovering over navigation menu through css?
Standard js document.getElementById(".card").style.display = "none";
I've looked at the react stuff, but I don't understand that.
I think what you have to do is this if you want to make a show and hide toggle of all the elements that have the card class in your DOM.
var myFunction = function() {
var divsToHide = document.getElementsByClassName("card");
if(divsToHide.length>0){
for(var i = 0; i < divsToHide.length; i++){
if( divsToHide[i].style.display== "none"){
divsToHide[i].style.display = "block";
}else{
divsToHide[i].style.display = "none"; // depending on what you're doing
}
}} }
I hope it helps you
I am building a list of music, and each music has a play button. So when you click play the button turns to pause button.
So when you music plays i want to be able to go down the list and click on another song with the current song stopping and the one i clicked to start.
At the moment i can go down the list and its playing the song but not its not letting me pause . When i click pause it just starts the song again.
here is my code
window.player = document.getElementById('player');
$('ul.tracks li span.play').click(function(){
$('ul.tracks li span.play').find('i').removeClass().addClass('fi-play');
var trackid = $(this).attr('id');
var track;
if(trackid == 'play1'){
track = 'img/music.mp3';
} else if(trackid == 'play2'){
track = 'img/music2.mp3';
} else {
track = 'img/music3.mp3';
}
$('#player_track').attr('src', track);
player.load();
if (player.paused) {
player.play();
$(this).html('<i class="fi-pause"></i>');
} else {
player.pause();
player.empty();
$(this).html('<i class="fi-play"></i>');
}
});
And here is the html
<audio id="player">
<source id="player_track" src="img/music.mp3" />
</audio>
<ul class="tracks">
<li>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-8 columns">1. No Church in the Wild (feat. Frank Ocean)</div>
<div class="large-2 columns"><span class="play" id="play1"><i class="fi-play"></i></span></div>
</div>
<li>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-8 columns">2. Lift Off (feat. Beyonce)</div>
<div class="large-2 columns"><span class="play" id="play2"><i class="fi-play"></i></span></div>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div class="row">
<div class="large-8 columns">3. Niggas in Paris</div>
<div class="large-2 columns"><span class="play" id="play3"><i class="fi-play"></i></span></div>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
But when i move player.load() into the if statement, i can pause it but when i click on another song while one is playing, it just stops. So what am i doing wrong?
You need to check if the file clicked is the one loaded by the player. You can do that by wrapping the track-setting code and the player.load in this if-statement.
if ($('#player_track').attr('src') !== track){
$('#player_track').attr('src', track);
player.load();
}
The whole code:
window.player = document.getElementById('player');
$('ul.tracks li span.play').click(function(){
$('ul.tracks li span.play').find('i').removeClass().addClass('fi-play');
var trackid = $(this).attr('id');
var track;
if(trackid == 'play1'){
track = 'img/music.mp3';
} else if(trackid == 'play2'){
track = 'img/music2.mp3';
} else {
track = 'img/music3.mp3';
}
if ($('#player_track').attr('src') !== track){
$('#player_track').attr('src', track);
player.load();
}

I'm using the following code to create a sliding card effect where each "card" is a list element and they slide across the screen. They are only visible within the "stage" I've set with specific height and width. It's working great -- except that, while the cards slide out nicely to the left, they don't perform the same sliding function inwards from the right. Instead, it simply jumps onto the page and looks a bit startling.
Does anyone know how I could get the next list item to slide in from the right instead of simply appearing?
Thanks!
JS:
window.addEvent('domready', function () {
var totIncrement = 0;
var increment = 968;
var maxRightIncrement = increment * (-303); //this is -303 because there are 303 cards, but the example below only has 3
var fx = new Fx.Style('slider-list', 'margin-left', {
duration: 300,
//transition: Fx.Transitions.Back.easeInOut,
wait: true
});
// EVENTS for the button "previous"
var pbuttons = document.getElementsByClassName('prevButton');
for(i = 0; i < pbuttons.length; i++) {
$(pbuttons[i]).addEvents({
'click': function (event) {
if(totIncrement > maxRightIncrement) {
totIncrement = totIncrement + increment;
fx.stop()
fx.start(totIncrement);
}
}
});
}
//-------------------------------------
// EVENTS for the button "next"
// var buttons = $('.nextButton');
var buttons = document.getElementsByClassName('nextButton');
for(i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
$(buttons[i]).addEvents({
'click': function (event) {
if(totIncrement > maxRightIncrement) {
totIncrement = totIncrement - increment;
fx.stop()
fx.start(totIncrement);
}
}
});
}
});
