title: Poster attribute not working in video tag on iPhone 5
body: <p>Does anybody know if iOS7 Safari for the iPhone has problems with the poster attribute in a video tag?</p>
  
  <p>I've been having issues with my application though it works for Chrome (iPhone, iPad, laptop) and iOS7 Safari (iPad only).  While videos plays fine, iOS7 Safari for iPhone doesn't render the poster image.</p>
  
  <p>Per HTML5Test.com, iOS7 Safari for iPhone supports the video element and provides Poster image support.  But, using the sample code from <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_poster.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_poster.asp</a>, you'll notice the poster image doesn't load for Safari on your iPhone (but it works fine on Chrome).</p>
  
  <p>Also, per Apple (see "Showing a Poster"):</p>
  
  <p>"Setting a poster image normally has a transitory effect—the poster image is shown only until the first frame of the video is available, which is typically a second or two. On iOS, however, the first frame is not shown until the user initiates playback, and a poster image is recommended, as shown in Listing 1-2."</p>

  <p>Just want to make sure I'm not missing something simple before I use a hack to get around this.</p>
