SVGSVGElement: setCurrentTime() method
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The setCurrentTime()
method of the SVGSVGElement
interface adjusts the clock for this SVG document fragment, establishing a new current time.
If setCurrentTime()
is called before the document timeline has begun (for example, by script running in a <script>
element before the document's SVGLoad
event is dispatched), then the value of seconds in the last invocation of the method gives the time that the document will seek to once the document timeline has begun.
Syntax
js
setCurrentTime(time)
Parameters
time
-
A float representing the time in seconds to set the current time.
Return value
None.
Examples
>Setting the Current Time
html
<svg
id="exampleSVG"
width="200"
height="200"
xmlns="https://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<circle id="circle1" cx="100" cy="100" r="50" fill="blue" />
</svg>
<button id="setTimeButton">Set Current Time</button>
<p id="currentTimeDisplay"></p>
js
const svgElement = document.getElementById("exampleSVG");
const setTimeButton = document.getElementById("setTimeButton");
const currentTimeDisplay = document.getElementById("currentTimeDisplay");
setTimeButton.addEventListener("click", () => {
// Setting the time to 5 seconds
svgElement.setCurrentTime(5);
const currentTime = svgElement.getCurrentTime();
currentTimeDisplay.textContent = `Current time in the SVG: ${currentTime} seconds`;
});
