Hi.
The video and audio controls seem to have vanished. Here's a snapshot of my workspace:
Is there anything I need to do to bring back the controls in the manner Joel suggests?
Cheers!

Treehouse TeacherHi there, Sean Flanagan! You're doing great, but you missed one line. On line 10 of your index.html you have a script tag which includes the mediaelement-and-player.min.js. But for it to work, you have to also load in the jQuery as it depends on it.
So if I make your code look like this:
<script src="js/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>
<script src="js/mediaelement-and-player.min.js"></script>
The controls appear when I refresh! Hope this helps!

30,808 PointsHi Sean, not sure if this fix comes too late, but I found the problem I was having was that I had put the 'mejs-controls.svg' file in to the root of my project. When I started debugging I found that the 'mediaelement-and-player.min.js' was looking for the svg file in the css folder, so I moved it there where it worked fine.

33,235 PointsHi Jennifer Nordell. Thanks for your help.
I added the missing jQuery script line:
<script src="js/jquery-3.3.1.js"></script>I put it above this line:
<script src="js/mediaelement-and-player.min.js"></script>Then I refreshed the page and still no controls.
