title: readyState issue with HTML5 video elements on ios safari
body: <p>It seems on the iPad (iOS v. 5.1.1), Safari does not keep a video element's <code>readyState</code> value according to specification.  Even while loading from the video source <code>readyState</code> equals zero.</p>
  
  <p>I've made a <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/XEmPZ/5/" rel="nofollow">demonstration jsfiddle which continuously checks the video's <code>readyState</code></a>.  A funny observation: the <code>readyState</code> changes only after clicking the play button.  </p>
  
  <p>Actually, I've expected the <code>readyState</code> to switch to a higher number during loading (as it is the case with all browsers on the desktop I've tested--including Safari.) Is there a workaround? Am I getting something wrong here?</p>
