Question

Is it possible to have a html5 video automatically open another page after it has finished playing?

How could this be done in javascript?

Answer 1

Take a look at media events on MDN.

// Cross-browser attach event logic (might be useful for this one day)
function listen(evnt, elem, func) {
    if (elem.addEventListener) { // W3C DOM
        elem.addEventListener(evnt, func, false);
    }
    else if (elem.attachEvent) { // IE DOM
        var r = elem.attachEvent("on" + evnt, func);
        return r;
    }
    else alert('I\'m sorry, I\'m afraid I can\'t do that.');
}

// Attach to event
listen("ended", document.getElementById('myVideo'), DoSomething);

// Event handler
function DoSomething() {
    // Use window.open (new window), or window.location.href = '[your link]'
}​

Here’s a working fiddle.

EDIT

Since you mentioned in a comment that you have jQuery, this will work as well:

$("#myVideo").on("ended", function() {
    // Use window.open (new window), or window.location.href = '[your link]'
});​

Here’s a working fiddle.
