The HTML onseeked attribute is an event handler used to specify a script that will run when the user finishes moving or skipping to a new position in an <audio> or <video> element.
Definition and Usage
➔ When a "seek" operation is completed, the media element's seeking property changes from true to false.
➔ onseeked is the counterpart of the onseeking attribute which is triggered when the user initiates the skipping process.
