A generic Event
.
These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's waiting
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("waiting", (event) => { console.log("Video is waiting for more data."); });
Using the onwaiting
event handler property:
js
const video = document.querySelector("video"); video.onwaiting = (event) => { console.log("Video is waiting for more data."); };
