<!DOCTYPE html>

<body>
<div style="text-align:center">
<button onclick="playPause()">Play/Pause</button>

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.

</div>
<script>
var myVideo=document.getElementById("video1");
var videoList=['Exam480Mod2Part1_mid_css3_1.mp4','Exam480Mod1Part2_mid_html.mp4','Exam480Mod1Part1_mid_html5.mp4','[DDR] Udaan - 06 - Aazaadiyan.mp3','mov_bbb.ogg'];
var index = videoList.indexOf(window.currentVideoName);
//Next button
function nextButton(){
myVideo.pause();
myVideo.currentTime=0;
index = index + 1;
if(index==videoList.length)
index = 0;
alert(videoList[index]);
myVideo.src = 'C:/'+videoList[index];
window.currentVideoName=videoList[index];
myVideo.play();

[EDIT]: I didnt consider the approach that IIM proposed when I responded to the thread. I havent tested it, but it looks viable.
i don't want to use javascript to do so.
Is it possible to do the same with using HTML5 only?
