Stuck creating a 468x60 Static image that reveals a 640x360 video that autoplays at roll-over.

I created a fiddle to show what I am stuck on.

Anyone know how to put this video inside the hover/reveal effect? I would prefer to keep it all html & css if possible.

I don't think it is possible to autoplay on hover without using javascript of jquery becuase I don't think there is anyway to modify the video controls from html or css. You could hide the video but it will be autoplaying while hidden which I guess will not give you the outcome you are hoping for.

The Jquery method is quite simple though:

$("video").bind('mouseenter', function() {
$(this).play();
});

You could have a fallback stylesheet for people without javascript supported browsers that adds a play button instead when hovering.
