Javascript DOM ontimeupdate Event via HTML Tag ontimeupdate function

Introduction

In JavaScript: 

object.ontimeupdate = function(){
       myScript};

In this example, we use the HTML DOM to 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.
