HTML5 video: possible to place regular html content over video

Question

Just wondering if anyone knows any tricks to getting regular html content (mainly an img tag) to display on top of a video (via the video tag)?

Answer 1

You can simply put html elements on top of HTML5 video by positioning them absolutly on top of the video. Give both the video element and the HTML element a "position:absolute" and put the HTML element a z-index higher than the video element's.
