Question

I’m searching for a way to start and stop an HTML 5 video in Chrome (I’m using impress.js, so it only has to work in Chrome) by pressing the enter key.

I know that it has something to do with the .play() function, but I’m rather new to JavaScript.

Can someone give me a hint?

Answer 1

var video = document.getElementById('video-element-id-here');

document.onkeypress = function(e) {
    if ( (e || window.event).keyCode === 13 /* enter key */ ) {
        video.paused ? video.play() : video.pause();
    }
};

OP: Please see comments too.
