HTML5 custom video controls

Question

I want the substitute button to play the video on click. When I click the button nothing happens.. this is without the normal controls and I'm just testing this feature with a standard button but I'm not getting any response.

var func = function(){
var video = document.getElementById('video');
var but = document.getElementById('play-pause');
but.addEventListener("click",function(){
    if (video.paused == true) {
        video.play();
    }else{
        video.pause();
    }
});
}
func();

html

  <div id="vid">
<video id="video" width="420" controls>
<source src="images/tutorialUPLOAD.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<p> your browser does not support HTML5 video </p>
</video>



<div id="vidctrl">
<button type="button" id="play-pause">click here to start</button>
</div>
</div>

Answer 1

Try this code Javascript

<script>
function playPause()
{       
    var myVideo=document.getElementById("template_35_vd_up"); 
            if (myVideo.paused) 
              {
                    myVideo.play();

              }
            else
            { 
              myVideo.pause();

            } 
} 
</script>

Html

<video width="650" height="440"  id="template_35_vd_up" controls="false" class="dragable"  style="position:absolute;top:30px;left:25px;" onclick="playPause()">

            <source src="upload_video/my_video.mp4" type="video/mp4">                           

            </source>
    </video>
                    <button onclick="playPause()" id='template35_playPouse'>Play/Pause</button>
