This seems unhelpful. We think the width/height DOM attributes should return the rendered width/height of the element, if it's being rendered, or else the intristic width/height of the video element's playback area. 21463 1 olivier.gendrin 2008-08-07 14:40:34 +0000 For example, width should be 100% of parent width (see CSS) and height 100%*3/4 of parent width. 21499 2 ian 2008-08-11 23:32:07 +0000 If you want the video dimensions, use videoWidth and videoHeight. If you want the dimensions of the rendering, use the CSS object model (clientHeight, etc). As a general rule, the DOM attributes don't return values other than what the content attributes have. There are some exceptions, like Image.height, but I think we want to keep the platform as consistent as possible.
