The ontimeupdate attribute event triggers when the playing position of the media, for example, video, is changed. It can be fast forward, or backward in a video or audio.
Example
You can try to run the following code implement ontimeupdate attribute −
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <body> <h2 id="test">Play</h2> <video id = "myid" width="320" height = "176" controls ontimeupdate = "myFunction()"> <source src = "/html5/foo.ogg" type = "video/ogg" /> <source src = "/html5/foo.mp4" type = "video/mp4" /> Your browser does not support the video element. </video> <script> function myFunction() { document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = "Current position: " + document.getElementById("myid").currentTime; } </script> </body> </html>
