I want to use either native JavaScript or jQuery to change the poster attribute on the HTML video tag. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<div id=videoplayer class=video-player style=overflow: hidden; width: 582px; height: 326px; > 

    <div id=myPlayer> 

        <video id=htmlFive width=100% height=100% controls= poster=undefined>

            <source src=blank.m3u8>

        </video>

</div> 

     </div>

Thank you!

To do it natively, just change the attribute:

document.getElementById('htmlFive').setAttribute('poster','newvalue');
