onrepeat Event

  • Article

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

Fires when the timeline repeats on an element, beginning with the second iteration.

Syntax

Inline HTML <ELEMENT onrepeat = "handler(event);" >
Event Property object.onrepeat = handler;
attachEvent object.attachEvent( "onrepeat", handler);
Named script <SCRIPT FOR = object EVENT = onrepeat>

Event Information

Bubbles No
Cancels No
To invoke Set the repeatCount property to a value greater than 1.
Default action Calls the associated event handler.

Event Object Properties

Although event handlers in the DHTML Object Model do not receive parameters directly, a handler can query the event object for the following event properties.

Available Properties

srcElement Gets or sets the object that fired the event.
type Gets or sets the event name from the event object.

Refer to the specific event object for additional event properties.

Remarks

The event fires once for each repetition of the timeline, excluding the first full cycle. Therefore, the onrepeat event fires repeatCount–1 times unless it is stopped by other dependencies before completion. This event fires only if the repeatCount or repeatDur property is set directly on the element. This event does not fire on child elements that have the repeatCount or repeatDur property set only on their parent elements.

Example

This example displays a message box that indicates the current repeat iteration every time the onrepeat event fires on a timeline.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
    .time {behavior: url(#default#time2);}
</STYLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="white">
<SPAN ID="parent1" CLASS=time BEGIN="0" DUR="6" REPEATCOUNT="4"
        TIMELINE="par"
    TIMEACTION="display" onrepeat="alert('Current iteration: ' +
parent1.currTimeState.repeatCount);">
    <SPAN CLASS=time BEGIN="0" DUR="2">This text will be
        displayed for two seconds.</SPAN><BR>
    <SPAN CLASS=time BEGIN="3" DUR="4">This text will be 
        displayed for four seconds.</SPAN>
</SPAN>
<SPAN CLASS="time" BEGIN="parent1.end">The End.</SPAN>
</BODY>
</HTML>
