Javascript DOM ontimeupdate Event via HTML Tag ontimeupdate attribute

Introduction

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

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

It will display the current position (in seconds) of the video playback.
