Javascript DOM ontimeupdate Event on <audio>

Introduction

Execute a JavaScript when the current playback position of an audio has changed:

In this example, we assign an "ontimeupdate" event to an audio element.

When the user starts to play the video, or skips to a new position in the audio, a function is triggered.

It will display the current position in seconds of the audio playback.

<audio controls ontimeupdate="myFunction(this)">
  <source src="sound.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
  <source src="sound.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
  Your browser does not support the audio element.
</audio>//  ww w.  j  a  v  a  2 s.c o  m

<script>
function myFunction(event) {
  // The currentTime property returns the current position of the audio/video playback
  document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = event.currentTime;
}
</script>
