onbegin Event

This document describes technologies available as an experimental implementation of HTML+TIME within Internet Explorer 5. While we encourage you to evaluate these features and to send us your feedback, please note that these features are subject to change.

Fires when the timeline starts on an element.

Syntax

Inline HTML	<ELEMENT onbegin = "handler" ... >	All platforms
Event property	object.onbegin = handler	JScript (compatible with ECMA 262 language specification) only
Named script	<SCRIPT FOR = objectEVENT = onbegin >	Internet Explorer only

Remarks

Bubbles	No
Cancels	No
To invoke	Set the element's begin time. The value of the element's begin time, which can depend on other elements, determines when the event actually fires.
Default action	Calls the associated event handler.

This event also fires for the element when the beginElement method is invoked on it, or in response to other dependencies created by the BEGINWITH or BEGINEVENT attribute. This event does not fire when the timeline on the element is set to repeat. However, it fires if the parent element's timeline is set to repeat.
