Execute a script when the playback position of the media has changed in HTML?

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>
