<audio>使用 Javascript 的 HTML5 元素状态

Question

I was wondering if there was any Javascript method that could help getting information on the state of an audio tag:

• is the audio playing
• has it stopped
• is it muted
• is it paused

and the sort. I know that we can use play() , pause() and others but not quite sure on how to check in the script that the audio is playing in order to trigger another event/action maybe ?

Answer 1

Yes you can check a number of attributes on the HTML5 media elements, a list of which you can find in the W3C HTML5 Specification itself.

Under the "playback state" list you can see such attributes as paused , muted , ended etc.
