How can I stop a video from playing after closing a modal that contains it in Webflow? The current custom code, `$('#modal-video')[0].pause();`, doesn't seem to work. Thanks!

To stop a video from playing after closing a modal in Webflow, you will need to make a few adjustments in your code. Since you mentioned that the current custom code `$('#modal-video')[0].pause();` is not working, here's an alternative approach you can try:

1. Add an event listener to detect when the modal is closed:
```javascript
$('.modal-close-button').click(function() {
// Code to stop the video
});
```
Make sure to replace `.modal-close-button` with the appropriate selector of your modal's close button.

2. Within the event listener, target the video element and call the `pause()` method to stop the video:
```javascript
$('.modal-close-button').click(function() {
$('#modal-video')[0].pause();
});
```
Here, `#modal-video` should be replaced with the correct ID or class of your video element within the modal.

If this doesn't work, there might be other factors affecting the functionality. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow:

1. Check if the video element has the correct ID or class assigned. Make sure you are targeting the right element.

2. Verify that the event listener is properly attached to the close button. You can use `console.log()` to check if the event listener is firing upon clicking the button.

3. Confirm that there are no JavaScript errors in the console that may interfere with the code execution.

4. Ensure that the script with the custom code is being loaded on the page. You can use browser developer tools to inspect the network tab and check if the script is successfully loading.

By following these steps and modifying your code accordingly, you should be able to stop the video from playing after closing the modal in Webflow.
