A generic Event
.
These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's play
event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.
Using addEventListener()
:
js
const video = document.querySelector("video"); video.addEventListener("play", (event) => { console.log( "The Boolean paused property is now 'false'. Either the play() method was called or the autoplay attribute was toggled.", ); });
Using the onplay
event handler property:
js
const video = document.querySelector("video"); video.onplay = (event) => { console.log( "The Boolean paused property is now 'false'. Either the play() method was called or the autoplay attribute was toggled.", ); };
