TextTrack: cuechange event

The cuechange event fires when a TextTrack has changed the currently displaying cues. The event is fired on both the TextTrack and the HTMLTrackElement in which it's being presented, if any.

Syntax

js

addEventListener("cuechange", (event) => {});

oncuechange = (event) => {};

Event type

A generic Event with no added properties.

Examples

You can set up a listener for the cuechange event on a TextTrack using the addEventListener() method:

js

track.addEventListener("cuechange", () => {
  const cues = track.activeCues; // array of current cues
  // …
});

Or you can set the oncuechange event handler property:

js

track.oncuechange = (event) => {
  let cues = track.activeCues; // array of current cues
};
