Execute a script when the media is ready to start playing in HTML?

Use the oncanplay attribute to define when an audio/ video is ready to start playing.

Example

You can try to run the following code to learn how to execute a script when the media is ready to start playing −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <body>
      <video id = "myid" width = "320" height = "176" controls oncanplay="display()">
         <source src = "/html5/foo.ogg" type = "video/ogg" />
         <source src ="/html5/foo.mp4" type = "video/mp4" />
         Your browser does not support the video element.
      </video>
      <script>
         function display() {
            alert("Video loaded!");
         }
      </script>
   </body>
</html>
