Create new HTML5 video element throught JavaScript

Question

I am trying to create a new HTML5 video elemnt entirely throught JS. So I try to do it the same way I create a new image, like: `obj = new Image()` I write `obj = new HTMLVideoElement()`. However this doesn't work. I get the runtime error: Object doesn't support this action. What is wrong? Thanks.

Accepted Answer

The `Image` class is a special case.

The standard way to create any arbitrary HTML element is this:

```
var obj = document.createElement('video');
```
