Javascript Web Development Front End Technology Object Oriented Programming

Let’s say we have the following sample video tag on a web page

<video class="hideVideo" width="350" height="255" controls>
   <source src="" id="unique_video_id">
   You cannot play video here......
</video>

To hide a video on a web page, use yourVariableName.style.display=’none’.

Following is the code −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
   <meta charset="UTF-8">
   <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
   <title>Document</title>
</head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.12.4.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<style>
   .hideVideo {
      display: block;
      z-index: 999;
      margin-top: 10px;
      margin-left: 10px;
   }
</style>
<body>
   <video class="hideVideo" width="350" height="255" controls>
   <source src="" id="unique_video_id">
