It’s important that you remove the height declaration when you do this so that the aspect ratio of the video is maintained as it grows and shrinks, lest you get awkward “bars” to fill the empty space (unlike images, the actual video maintains it’s aspect ratio regardless of the size of the element). Well, yep, you can! If you are using standard HTML5 video, that will make the video fit the width of the container. Simple and contrived, but still ridiculous and embarassing. What if the parent container for that video shrinks narrower than the declared 400px? It will bust out and probably look ridiculous and embarrassing. Guess what?
