</div>I think Chris meant that the poster should remain shown if the user<br>
chose to seek instead of play when the video first loads. Showing the<br>
poster during any other seek wouldn't make sense.<br>

</div>Unfortunately, as has been pointed out by others, the 'using an image'<br>
approach becomes problematic when you are using the built in browser<br>
controls. I like the idea of being able to manually turn on and off<br>
the poster display.<br>
<br>
Removing the poster attribute is an option to turn the poster off but<br>
there is no way to turn it back on again.<br></blockquote><div><br>You just need to remember the value of the poster element before you remove it - then you can set it back later.<br><br>Silvia.<br> <br></div></div>
