I am trying to get width and height of tag, I am using the following markup:
<div class="masked" id="video_container">
<video id="video" loop="loop" muted="muted" tabindex="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">
<source src="..." type="..."</source>
<source src="..." type="..."</source>
</video>
</div>
The key part is that width and height attributes are both set to 100%, and when window is changed aspect ratio of video is saved, but I cannot get it's actual width and height.
I tried to get value using offsetWidth and offsetHeight properties, but they are return actual size of the video.
Edit:
This is the piece of code that working for me:
var videoActualWidth = video.getBoundingClientRect().width;
var videoActualHeight = video.getBoundingClientRect().height;
var aspect = videoActualWidth / videoActualHeight;
if (w / h > aspect) {
video.setAttribute("style", "height: 100%");
} else {
video.setAttribute("style", "width: 100%");
}
Thanks!
This code will give you the dimensions of the video tag (not the dimensions of the video itself)
var video = document.getElementById("video");
var videotag_width = video.offsetWidth;
var videotag_height = video.offsetHeight;
This code will give you the dimensions of the video that is currently playing
var video = document.getElementById("video");
var video_height = video.videoHeight;
var video_width = video.videoWidth;
