Javascript DOM ontimeupdate Event via addEventListener() method

Introduction

In JavaScript, using the addEventListener() method: 

object.addEventListener("timeupdate",
       myScript);

In this example, we use the addEventListener() method to attach a "timeupdate" event to a video element.

When the user starts to play the video, or skips to a new position in the video, a function is triggered.

It will display the current position (in seconds) of the video playback.
