688986 - Firefox offers no support for resizing the HTML5 video element on a window resize.

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: Layout, defect)

Description

[Joey Caughey]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/14.0.835.186 Safari/535.1

Steps to reproduce:

I added a HTML5 video component such as:
http://videojs.com/

I wanted the video to be 100% and adapt without having to go into fullscreen mode.

When I resize the window there was no way to resize the video element.  It did not comply with the CSS nor did it adapt when i tried to use jquery to resize the element like so.

$(window).resize(function() {
     $("video").width("100%");
});


Actual results:

The video stayed the same as it did when the page loaded.


Expected results:

The video should have stretched as any proper html element should have.

This should work in general.  Can you link to an actual page showing the problem?

I think this is no more a BUG or it was Fixed. When I tried, The video element got adjusted.

Sure, it should work, and worked in my testcases as of when this bug was filed.  Hence the request for more information about what the markup and styles look like in the case when it doesn't work...

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.
