Try $("#myVideo").context instead. That gets you right to the DOM element.

Using:

$('#fs').bind('click', function() { $("#myVideo").webkitEnterFullscreen();});

I receive: Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'webkitEnterFullscreen'

But using:

$('#fs').bind('click', function() { var vid = document.getElementById("myVideo"); vid.webkitEnterFullscreen();});

seems to work. Why is that?

Count me in! $25 bucks for some crystals in some stupid (free) defense game. I'm not going to bother begging for the refund, as it's $25 bucks. But yea!
For those wondering though, there is a way to block this from easily happening in the future! In the Market ---> Menu button ---> Settings, you can set up a PIN! This was already setup on my phone... but I forgot to set it up on my tablet which I usually never let the kids use. Anypoop, live / learn.
Lock (PIN) your devices, Google Market --> Settings --> Set PIN --> [Check Box] "Use PIN" ... Done! - Good Luck! I agree on that $99 deal though! Definitely overpriced, and definitely a scam. (Imagine how many kids press that ONE and the parents NEVER figure out it's from that! Shame shame!) The warning should state: “THIS APP HAS ACCESS TO…” your B-A-N-K!!! lol (fail)

I actually don't but for the most part the only thing missing from above is the video tag.

Do you have a sample of fullscreen code in a document. I can understand better by looking at the code than reading.Codse makes more sense than words to me. Sad or a sign of the times? Thanks

I sent it to +Android Developers with no response as of yet. I'm trying to get it in front of the right person at Google too. Keep me posted if it gets press in Denmark.

I just had the same experience today, 99$ for 1000 medals in BIA2, from GAMELOFT, don't know whether they will refund or not, but I have written to them immediately actually I believe within minutes after the purchase. Now all buying adn my card is deleted on my account, so I have to type it from scratch every time. Which then results in much less purchases of magazines, books and other stuff with my tablet, as the convience is gone. They NEED to make disabling and code protected solutions immediately. If they do not wnat to loose market shares, I am considering attending news papers here in Denmark now, to get this out to those who do not know it. I think it will only boost apple sales for their IPAD

I was able to set a PIN for in-app purchases on my Kindle Fire but not on my Android phone.
