HTML | DOM ontimeupdate Event

The ontimeupdate event in HTML DOM occurs when playing the position of a specific media position is changed.

This event is invoked by:

Moving to the new position of the audio/video

The currentTime property is used to get the current position of the audio/video in seconds.

Syntax:

```
<element ontimeupdate="Script">
```

In JavaScript:

object.ontimeupdate = function(){Script};

In JavaScript, using the addEventListener() method:
```
object.addEventListener("timeupdate", Script);
```
