Custom Css For

I'm building a music player web application which implements the HTML5 audio tag, however would like it to look consistent across browsers - is it possible to define my own custom

Solution 1:

There is not currently any way to style HTML5 <audio> players using CSS. Instead, you can leave off the control attribute, and implement your own controls using Javascript. If you don't want to implement them all on your own, I'd recommend using an existing themeable HTML5 audio player, such as jPlayer.


Solution 2:

I discovered quite by accident (I was working with images at the time) that the box-shadow, border-radius and transitions work quite well with the bog-standard audio tag player. I have this working in Chrome, FF and Opera.

audio:hover, audio:focus, audio:active
{
-webkit-box-shadow: 15px 15px 20px rgba(0,0, 0, 0.4);
-moz-box-shadow: 15px 15px 20px rgba(0,0, 0, 0.4);
box-shadow: 15px 15px 20px rgba(0,0, 0, 0.4);
-webkit-transform: scale(1.05);
-moz-transform: scale(1.05);
transform: scale(1.05);
}

with:-

audio
{
-webkit-transition:all 0.5s linear;
-moz-transition:all 0.5s linear;
-o-transition:all 0.5s linear;
transition:all 0.5s linear;
-moz-box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px 0px #006773;
-webkit-box-shadow:  2px 2px 4px 0px #006773;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px 0px #006773;
-moz-border-radius:7px 7px 7px 7px ;
-webkit-border-radius:7px 7px 7px 7px ;
border-radius:7px 7px 7px 7px ;
}

I grant you it only "tarts it up a bit", but it makes them a sight more exciting than what's already there, and without doing MAJOR fannying about in JS.

NOT available in IE, unfortunately (not yet supporting the transition bit), but it seems to degrade nicely.


Solution 3:

Besides the box-shadow, transform and border options mentioned in other answers, WebKit browsers currently also obey -webkit-text-fill-color to set the colour of the "time elapsed" numbers, but since there is no way to set their background (which might vary with platform, e.g. inverted high-contrast modes on some operating systems), you would be advised to set -webkit-text-fill-color to the value "initial" if you've used it elsewhere and the audio element is inheriting this, otherwise some users might find those numbers unreadable.


Solution 4:

You can style audio element using some obscure css selectors. Here's a few of them.

audio::-webkit-media-controls-enclosure {
    background-color: #c6c6ec;
}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-timeline {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-volume-control-container {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-volume-control-container.closed {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-volume-slider-container {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-volume-slider {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-seek-back-button {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-seek-forward-button {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-fullscreen-button {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-rewind-button {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-return-to-realtime-button {}
audio::-webkit-media-controls-toggle-closed-captions-button {}

Haven't found an exhaustive list of these, but here's the closest thing.


Solution 5:

There are CSS options for the audio tag.

Like: html 5 audio tag width

But if you play around with it you'll see results can be unexpected - as of August 2012.
