The play/pause button causes the video player to play or pause the video content when a user clicks it.

You can size, skin, and position the button, relative to the control bar that contains it, by CSS.

The following CSS class selector controls the appearance of the button:

.s7videoviewer .s7playpausebutton

CSS properties of the play/pause button

top	Position from the top border, including padding.
right	Position from the right border, including padding.
left	Position from the left border, including padding.
bottom	Position from the bottom border, including padding.
width	Width of the button.
height	Height of the button.
background-image	The image that is displayed for a given button state.
background-position	Position inside artwork sprite, if CSS sprites are used. See CSS Sprites.

NOTE

This button supports both the state, selected, and replay attribute selectors, which can be used to apply different skins to different button states. In particular, selected='true' corresponds to the “play” state and selected='false' corresponds to the “pause” state;

The attribute selector replay='true' is set when the video has reached the end and selecting the button restarts playback from the beginning.

The button tool tip can be localized. See Localization of user interface elements for more information.

Example

To set up a play/pause button that is 32 x 32 pixels and positioned six pixels from the top and left edge of the control bar. And finally, displays a different image for each of the four different button states when selected or not selected.
