JQuery autoplay video on click show

I'm using JQuery on a navigational panel that operates as click to show/hide. On the "About" panel is small html5 video that I would like to auto start on click-show and stop video on click-hide. The id for the "About" panel is:

<div class="panel2">

Sample code for how the panels function:

$(document).ready(function(){
$(".triggerso").click(function(){
    $(this).hide();
    $(".panelso开发者_StackOverflow社区").show("fast");
    $('.panelso').click(function(){ 
    $(this).hide();
    $('.triggerso').show("fast"); });
    $(".panel").hide("slow");
    $(".panel1").hide("slow");
    $(".panel2").hide("slow");
    $(".panel3").hide("slow");
    return false;
});
});

Thanks you so much for your help.

See this:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/video.html#video

and the controls attribute:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/video.html#attr-media-controls

probably the media methods ".play()" and ".pause()" will help you

Something like this:

var video = $("#myvideo")[0]; // id or class of your <video> tag
if (video.paused) {
    video.play();
}    

the "[0]" is to get the html element instead of a jQuery object.
