muted in Firefox

[Scott Haynes]

I'm creating my video elements dynamically in javascript, and I'm having an issue with Firefox not muting the video element property.  When I inspect the element, muted='true' is listed in the element.  When I right click on the video element, and select 'Mute' that fixes the issue.  What is the right click menu doing, and/or how can I set that local video elements mute property?

Set videoelement.muted=true should do it. Is that what you're doing?

I'm creating the element below and then I call attachMediaStream which is defined in adapter.js

                $container.append(

                    "<div id='"+ divId + "'>" +

                        "<video class='vwf-webrtc-video' id='" + videoId +

                            "' width='320' height='240' " +

                            "loop='loop' autoplay = true muted='true' " +

                            "style='position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0; z-index: 40;'>" +

                        "</video>" +

                    "</div>"

                );

'true' !== true

Could that be the problem?

[Silvia Pfeiffer]

If you're doing it via HTML, it's best to not give the boolean
attributes any value - just having them there will set them to true:

So, this should suffice:

<video class='vwf-webrtc-video' id='" + videoId +
"' width='320' height='240' " +

"loop autoplay muted " +

"style='position: absolute; left: 0; top: 0;
z-index: 40;'>

HTH,
Silvia.

I've tried muted=true and muted, neither worked in firefox

Try muted="muted" . Also, maybe it's a bug, see:

Seems like it should work since Firefox 11:

Thanks, I've got everything working by just setting muted after the html element is created and that seems to be working well.  html can drive me a little crazy at times, especially getting things to work in multiple browsers.
