HTML 5 video does not play in the container
Let me preface this post by saying I'm not web designer. I have some knowledge, but not a lot. However, I volunteered to help a friend update his 20-year-old website. The issue in question is this: There are several small videos that I'd like to have to displayed in a playlist. I found some code online here Here that works perfectly on their site. But when I pasted it into my test page the videos will play, but when I click one in the playlist it goes full screen and then overlaps the playlist. I don't what I did wrong. Any and all help would be appreciated to get this working. Everything works except the videos pop out and cover the screen negating the need for a playlist.
Here is my code:
