html5 else,html - If Else button pressed in HTML5? - Stack Overflow

I'm doing a simple project for a digital arts class. I want to do a simple little choose your own adventure game, where you watch a clip, then choose from up to several different options on what to do next. Your decision will trigger a video, and the adventure will go on for a little awhile and the player will either escape the haunted house or be killed. This is my first time working with HTML5.

I need to do the following things:

1) When a button is pressed, a certain video is played.

2) After that video ends, the block of text at the top of the screen changes accordingly, presenting players with additional information and explaining their options in greater detail than the clips themselves can provide.

Right now, I just need help with step 1. I can't seem to figure out how to get the button onclick command to work correctly. The program displays the first Intro video just fine, but does not react at all when you click on any of the buttons. I was initially hoping to use something along the lines of an if else button.pressed command, but I can't find anything like that in HTML5. I know its not possible to troubleshoot my code since no one has access to my local files, but I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Here's my code:

Spooks: Choose Your Own Adventure

function $(id)

{

return document.getElementById(id);

}

//Video Source Changers

function Door()

{

$('movie').src = "file:///C:/Users/Spencer/Videos/Spooks/Trapped.mp4" type="video/mp4">

}

function Wander()

{

$('movie').src = "file:///C:/Users/Spencer/Videos/Spooks/Sesame.mp4" type="video/mp4">

}

function Match()

{

$('movie').src = "file:///C:/Users/Spencer/Videos/Spooks/Sesame.mp4" type="video/mp4">

}

What an awful time to get stranded out in the countryside! It's raining cats and dogs out here. Hungry, freezing, exhausted and desperate, you head to the nearest visible shelter - a decrepit old mansion. Surely southern hospitality will see you safely through the night.

This is creepy. I'll just go back through the front door.

Really weird, but I guess it beats the storm. The owner probably just ran off to get the lights working. I'll wander around a bit, see if I can find him.

It'd be nice to be able to see before I make a decision one way or the other. Let's light a match...
