Question

I have my container div that contain a video and a div with some text.

I would like that the text is above the video and in the central position, also when I resize browser window.

I realize this demo, but I think is only a starting point.. how can I improve my code?

Here is the code.

/**CSS**/

video {
  position:relative;
  z-index:-1;
}

#custom-message {
  position:relative;
  color: rgb(230, 200, 98);
  z-index:1;
  top: -200px;       
}

<!--**HTML**-->

<div id="container" align="center">
  <video width="640" height="320" autoplay>
    <source src="http://media.w3.org/2010/05/sintel/trailer.mp4" type="video/mp4"/>
  </video>
  <div id="custom-message">CENTERED TEXT ABOVE</div>
</div>

See snippet here:
DEMO

var $vid = $('video','#container');
var $msg = $('#custom-message'); 
$msg.css({
    top:$vid.offset().top + (($vid.height()/2) - ($msg.height()/2)),
    left:$vid.offset().left + (($vid.width()/2) - ($msg.width()/2))
});​
