I wonder if it makes sense to introduce a set of pseudo-classes on
the
video/audio elements, each reflecting a state of the media on the
controls (playing/paused/error/etc.)? Then, we could use just CSS to
style media controls (whether native or custom), and not have to
listen to DOM events just to tweak their appearance.
With a sufficiently large set of pseudo-classes it might be possible
to
do
*display* most of the interesting state, but how would you *change*
the
state without using scripts? Play/pause, seek, volume, etc...
This is not the goal of using pseudo-classes: they just provide you
with a uniform way to react to changes.
In other words, one would still have to rely heavily on scripts to
actually
implement custom controls?
Heavily is subjective. But yep :)
Also, how would one style a progress bar using pseudo-classes? How
about a
displaying elapsed/remaining time on the form MM:SS?
I am not in any way trying to invent a magical way to style media
controls entirely in CSS. Just trying to make the job of controls
developers easier and use CSS where it's well... useful? :)
Very well, what specific set pseudo-classes do you think would be useful?
