Add controls attribute to video element using jQuery

Question

I am trying to figure out how to add controls to a video using jQuery.
I have tried the following but it did not work:

$('.video-js').attr('controls', 'controls');

Answer 1

Try this

$('.video-js').attr('controls',true);

Alternatively if you're using jQuery 1.6+ you may/should use

 $(".video-js").prop("controls",true);
