Detect if HTML5 video volume property is read-only?

Question

I have a mute button that sets my video volume to 0:

video.volume = 0;

If this isn't supported I'd like to hide the mute button. I can use user-agent detection, but that is less than ideal. Does anyone know of a way to check if this property is read-only?

Thanks,

Tim

Answer 1

to mute use .muted . The old volume will be remembered and it works everywhere.

video.muted = true;
