Examples
These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's seeking
event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.
Using addEventListener()
:
const video = document.querySelector('video');
video.addEventListener('seeking', (event) => {
console.log('Video is seeking a new position.');
});
Using the onseeking
event handler property:
const video = document.querySelector('video');
video.onseeking = (event) => {
console.log('Video is seeking a new position.');
};
