Can CSS be applied to element

Question

So I ran into problem while writing my own customized HTML5 video player. Can any CSS rules be applied to element? Any nasty hacks? I want to cont

Answer 1

According to the WebVTT, The element cannot be rendered with css, thus there is no way to add css to it. You can change traits and the given cue, but nothing beyond that. Here's a nice tutorial for creative use of these. The closest you can get to styling it is surrouding it with a div and applying the style to the div itself. Sorry, no nasty hax. :/

EDIT: There is one forbidden nasty trick, but it's highly dangerous for the mortal. Beware, for the worst bugs and demons you've ever seen if you ever get close to these technics.

Protect the track

A given track element can be embeded inside an Audio element, protected by it, since they both share the unliked race of HTML5 media players. The mozilla docs have a nice scroll which may help you in your quest; it includes the following:

Listen to no rules

As a forbidden prophecy once mentioned, there's no implemented audio player which uses CSS - however, the chosen one could make their own. He or she shall leave the controls attribute off, and implement the controls from the scratch using javascript. They might get a few followers to assist them in the form of existing audio players partial implementation, such as your childhood friend.

Attack from the inside out

Once the chosen one has mastered the various arts of styling controls with js, they may use the secret inner-trait-css-styling-non-justu and add styling to the inner elements from the audio controls - one of which, is the track.

Good luck, adventurer. You'll be the first to ever come back alive, if you will. And if you will, please tell us the tale of your mighty battles.
