HTMLHelp Forums _ Markup (HTML, XHTML, XML) _ make a video clickable and act as a hyperlink

Posted by: one_button Feb 21 2024, 08:11 PM

I am trying to make a video clickable and act as a hyperlink

If I include controls as in this example

CODE

the video can play but clicking on the video only pauses playback
if I remove controls, clicking on the video will open the link URL

is there a way to make the link work while including controls?

You might be able to place a transparent link in front of the video with CSS "position: absolute" or similar (but don't cover the video controls).

But it will likely be confusing to users if clicking on the video opens a new URL instead of the usual video interaction.
