Event Property Description onbegin Fires when the timeline starts on an element.
onend Fires when the timeline stops on an element.
onmediacomplete Fires when the element's associated media finish loading.
Fires when the element's associated media finish loading.onmediaerror Fires when an element's media file causes any error.
onoutofsync Fires when the element loses synchronization with its associated timeline.
onpause Fires when the timeline on an element pauses.
onrepeat Fires when the timeline repeats on an element, beginning with the second iteration.
onreset Fires when the timeline reaches the value of the BEGIN attribute or when the resetElement method is called on the element.
onresume Fires when an element's timeline resumes from a paused state.
onreverse Fires when the timeline on an element begins to play backward.
onseek Fires whenever a seek operation is performed on the element.
onsyncrestored Fires when synchronization is resumed between the element and its associated timeline.
Method Description activeTimeToParentTime Converts a value in the element's active timeline to the corresponding point in the parent timeline.
activeTimeToSegmentTime Converts a value in the element's active timeline to the corresponding point in the segment timeline.
beginElement Starts the element on the timeline.
beginElementAt Starts an element's timeline at the specified time.
documentTimeToParentTime Converts a value in the document timeline to the corresponding point in the element's parent timeline.
endElement Stops the element on the timeline.
endElementAt Ends an element's timeline at the specified time.
nextElement Advances the timeline so that the next element in the sequence begins playing.
parentTimeToActiveTime Converts a value in the parent timeline to the corresponding point in the element's active timeline.
parentTimeToDocumentTime Converts a value in the element's parent timeline to the corresponding point in the document timeline.
pauseElement Stops playing an element's timeline at the current point.
prevElement Resets the timeline so that the previous element in the sequence begins playing.
resetElement Removes any changes made to the element and returns the element to its original state.
resumeElement Restarts the element's timeline from a paused state.
seekActiveTime Locates a specified point on the element's active timeline and begins playing from that point.
Locates a specified point on the element's active timeline and begins playing from that point.seekSegmentTime Locates the specified point on the element's segment timeline, and begins playing from that point.
seekTo Locates a specified point on the element's segment timeline, including repetitions, and begins playing from that point.
seekToFrame Locates a specified frame in the object.
segmentTimeToActiveTime Converts a value in the element's segment timeline to the corresponding point in the element's active timeline.
segmentTimeToSimpleTime Converts a value in the element's segment timeline to the corresponding point in the element's simple timeline.
simpleTimeToSegmentTime Converts a value in the element's simple timeline to the corresponding point in the element's segment timeline.
Object Description currTimeState Contains information about an HTML+TIME timeline.
Remarks
All timed HTML descendants of this XML element have sequential timing. A duration value ( dur property) must be specified or the next element in the sequence might never be displayed. Elements without timing attributes are ignored by the timing mechanism and are statically rendered. A timed element is an HTML element with an associated time behavior.
The default value of begin for children of a seq time container is 0 seconds.
The prefix
t:is used to associate this element with an XML namespace. You must declare the XML namespace in the html tag of your document when using this element.<HTML XMLNS:t ="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:time">You must then import the tag definitions from the time2 behavior by using the IMPORT processing instruction.
<?IMPORT namespace="t" implementation="#default#time2">The members listed in the following table might not be accessible through scripting until the window. onload event fires. Waiting for this event to fire ensures that the document is completely loaded, that all behaviors have been applied to corresponding elements on the document , and that all the behavior's properties, methods, and events are available for scripting. Using any of the behavior-defined members before the window. onload event fires could result in a scripting error, indicating that the object does not support that particular member.
This element is not rendered.
This element requires a closing tag.
Example
This example uses the t:SEQ element to display a sequence of text lines without specifying begin times for each timed element in the sequence.
