It seems that the javascript API to make the video player fullscreen does not do anything on the iPad. calling webkitEnterFullscreen() gets an error "an attempt was made to use an object that is not or is no longer usable". However if the native controls are visible on the video element, you can touch the fullscreen control and it plays fullscreen.
I guess it's possible to sort of simulate fullscreen mode by resizing the video element up to as large as the browser canvas is, but that would still leave the browser controls at the top I think. I don't know if there is any "full screen" option for the whole HTML document in Safari/iOS. -- Henry Minsky Software Architect [email protected]
