activeDur Property

  • Article

This topic documents a feature of HTML+TIME 2.0, which is obsolete as of Windows Internet Explorer 9.

Gets the total duration of the timeline.

Syntax

[ iTime = ] currTimeState.activeDur

Possible Values

iTime Integer that receives the total duration of the timeline, in seconds.

The property is read-only. The property has no default value.

Remarks

This property includes the repeatDur time and the effect of the autoReverse property, if applicable. For example, a timeline with a duration ( dur) of 5 seconds, a repeatCount of 3, and autoReverse set to true yields an activeDur of 30 seconds.

Example

This example demonstrates how to use the activeDur property to retrieve the total duration of a timeline.
