Styling HTML Media Inner Workings


The Problem

While on Stack Overflow I stumbled across a question(right here in case you are curious) about styling the HTML5 Audio Player's time text and track control. Intrigued, my first reaction was that it could not be done because the players are browser-dependent. As I looked deeper into the issue, my answers and comments failed to satisfy the person who asked the question. I became haunted by the question and devoted some time to finding the answer. Since Google Chrome is the most stable browser that I could find that supports the most HTML5 features, I focused almost exclusively on it, but occasionally used a less-stable Chinese webkit browser called Maxthon.
