I’m using jQuery for/with javascript in order to try to modify the inner HTML code of a div in the .htm file. I’m using jQuery DOM ready event as recommended here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9856140/javascript-uncaught-typeerror-cannot-call-method-addeventlistener-of-null) in order to avoid the script to be run before the div is ready, but that doesn’t matter; I keep getting that error.
I must say it’s just a few days since I’m into Javascript and it is a very long time since I last used HTML so please don’t discard any noob-typical errors because most likely it may be that.
Here are the files I’m using, hosted in Skydrive:
As it can be guessed, I’m using videoJS as video player. The CSS and JS files of videojs can be referenced either online (http://videojs.com/#section5) or offline, as can be seen in AMPlayer.htm, but this is just circumstancial information since it looks more like a problem with javascript rather than a problem with videojs.
EDIT: What I think is the important part of the files:
AMPlayer.htm (I think the problem is here, so I’m pasting the whole file):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link href="video-js.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<script src="video-js.js"></script>
<script src="jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="playlister.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<title>AMPlayer</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="the-video" class="video-js-box">
<span> </span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
playlister.js:
function postVideo()
{
getNextVideo();
document.write("NEXT VIDEO: "+videoNames[iNewVideoId]+"<br>");
var video1 = '<video id="AMPlayer" class="video-js vjs-default-skin" preload="auto" width="650" height="365" data-setup="{}" autoplay> <source src="videos/AVANCE/vid.mp4" type="video/mp4" /><source src="videos/AVANCE/vid.webm" type="video/webm" /></video>';
//document.write(video1); This writes the text so the video is played, but it drives me to an undesired behaviour
document.write("BEFORE THE .SETUP<br>");
//$("#the-video").html(video1); This doesn't work
//document.getElementById("the-video").innerHTML=video1; This does neither work
//window.VideoJS.setup($'video1'));
document.write("AFTER THE .SETUP<br>");
document.getElementById("AMPlayer").addEventListener('ended', postVideo, true);
//$(".video-js")[0].player.play();
document.write("AFTER THE .PLAY<br>");
//postVideo();
}
Any provided help will be very useful for sure. Thanks in advance.
You are trying to get the element with the id
AMPlayer, but you don’t have one.You have a string containing the HTML to create one, but it hasn’t been added to the DOM.
