static getAttribute(el, attribute) → {string}

[utils/dom.js](https://docs.videojs.com/utils_dom.js.html), [line 436](https://docs.videojs.com/utils_dom.js.html#line436)

Get the value of an element’s attribute.

static getAttributes(tag) → {Object}

[utils/dom.js](https://docs.videojs.com/utils_dom.js.html), [line 393](https://docs.videojs.com/utils_dom.js.html#line393)

Element from which to get tag attributes.

Returns:

static getBoundingClientRect(el) → {Object|undefined}

[utils/dom.js](https://docs.videojs.com/utils_dom.js.html), [line 507](https://docs.videojs.com/utils_dom.js.html#line507)

Identical to the native getBoundingClientRect function, but ensures that the method is supported at all (it is in all browsers we claim to support) and that the element is in the DOM before continuing.

This wrapper function also shims properties which are not provided by some older browsers (namely, IE8).

Additionally, some browsers do not support adding properties to a ClientRect/DOMRect object; so, we shallow-copy it with the standard properties (except x and y which are not widely supported). This helps avoid implementations where keys are non-enumerable.

Parameters:
NameTypeDescription
elElement

Element whose ClientRect we want to calculate.

Returns:

Object | undefined -

Always returns a plain object - or undefined if it cannot.

Type Definitions

ContentDescriptor()

[utils/dom.js](https://docs.videojs.com/utils_dom.js.html), [line 690](https://docs.videojs.com/utils_dom.js.html#line690)

This is a mixed value that describes content to be injected into the DOM via some method. It can be of the following types:

TypeDescription
stringThe value will be normalized into a text node.
ElementThe value will be accepted as-is.
TextNodeThe value will be accepted as-is.
ArrayA one-dimensional array of strings, elements, text nodes, or functions. These functions should return a string, element, or text node (any other return value, like an array, will be ignored).
FunctionA function, which is expected to return a string, element, text node, or array - any of the other possible values described above. This means that a content descriptor could be a function that returns an array of functions, but those second-level functions must return strings, elements, or text nodes.
