The pause
event is sent when a request to pause an activity is handled and the activity has entered its paused state, most commonly after the media has been paused through a call to the element's pause()
method.
The event is sent once the pause()
method returns and after the media element's paused
property has been changed to true
.
These examples add an event listener for the HTMLMediaElement's pause
event, then post a message when that event handler has reacted to the event firing.
Using addEventListener()
:
const video = document.querySelector('video');
video.addEventListener('pause', (event) => {
console.log('The Boolean paused property is now true. Either the ' +
'pause() method was called or the autoplay attribute was toggled.');
});
Using the onpause
event handler property:
const video = document.querySelector('video');
video.onpause = (event) => {
console.log('The Boolean paused property is now true. Either the ' +
'pause() method was called or the autoplay attribute was toggled.');
};
