I am trying to write simple jQuery play/pause buttons for a video in html5, but when I go and click the buttons, nothing happens. If you have any code for the play/pause functionality, I'd appreciate that very much.
Here's my code at the moment:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.4/jquery.min.js">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#play').click(function(){
$('#myvid').get(0).play();
});
});
</script>
<title>Drive</title>
</head>
<body>
<video id="myvid" width="800" height="600">
<source src="video.mp4" type="video/mp4">
<track src="leg.vtt" kind="captions" srclang="en-us" label="english" default>
</video>
<br>
<br>
<input type="button" value="Play" id="play" />
<input type="button" value="Pause" id="pause" />
</body>
</html>
I've tried multiple different codes but none of them caused nothing on the page, not even errors
Here is my working example of JQuery code to play/pause a video:

(1) Define a <script>
tag for loading external JS files/libraries (ie: JQuery in this case):
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.4/jquery.min.js">
</script>
(2) Then define a separate <script>
tag for code that handles Elements on the page:
<script>
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#play").click( function() { $("#myvid").trigger("play"); } );
$("#pause").click( function() { $("#myvid").trigger("pause"); } );
});
</script>
