Is there a way to tell when an embedded video has stopped?

[Robert Stone]

I have a windows media video embedded in a jsp page, I am retrieving the video from the server, dynamically loading it, playing it, and then when it stops I want to load the next video in the array of videos. Is there any way to tell when an embedded video stops? I can't seem to find any useful information about doing this online. I mean really, is there no one that has wanted to dynamically load embedded videos before me? I can't believe this is the case.

How are you embedding the video? TellTheDetails.

For example, if you are using the HTML5 video element, I'm pretty sure that there are events that you can capture.

Sorry, I am a bit frustrated now and didn't mean to leave the details out. I am using the html 5 video element just like this

<video width="320" height="240" controls="controls">
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg" />
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

I am learning html 5 after developing for a long time with html 4 so it is tough getting used to the new standard. What events are you speaking of please share the details.

Thanks,

Robert

[Edit: added code tags]

I don't know -- I've never used them. I'm just pretty sure that they exist.

A good resource for HTML5 programming is Head First HTML5 Programming

I recall that it has an entire chapter devoted to the video tag and programming for it.

Thanks a lot! That actually answered my question. I Googled html video tag events and found a tutorial that showed me what I needed here:

video events

Now I know what to do
