Customized HTML5 Video Player Controls Not Auto Hiding

[KennyP]

Hi:

I posted here because I suspect this may be a javascript problem:

The following customized HTML5 video player, on a website I made for a friend, looks and works perfectly.
However, especially in IE its controls auto hide only once in a rare while.

Would someone please tell me why they don't auto hide all the time as they're written, how to make them
auto hide all the time and show when they're hovered.

Thanks,

Kenny
