What would "reset" mean? Would it mean the cached video stream is disposed off, would it mean the video's current time goes to zero or where it was when the page was first loaded. I think reset could mean way too many things for too many people in various scenarios and will be fraught with UA implementation nuances.

Currently is doesn't affect the poster. But would that be intuitive? I'm getting the video element to load it's source and so the poster will show? Ideally poster should be an object (a property of the video element) that has a source property and a visible property. Or to not break current implementations. The video element could have a method called showPoster(bool) or a bool property called postervisible. Shiv http://exposureroom.com <http://exposureroom.com/> I regard the load() function as a kind of reset() function. But possibly we need an actual reset() function to return to the original state where the poster image is displayed? Silvia.
