The kind
property of the HTMLTrackElement
interface represents the type of track, or how the text track is meant to be used. It reflects the <track>
element's enumerated kind
attribute.
If no kind
is set, subtitles
is used. If the attribute is not set to one of the valid enumerated values, it is invalid and metadata
is used. Other valid values include captions
, descriptions
, and chapters
.
A string; lowercase captions
, descriptions
, chapters
, subtitles
or metadata
.
Given the following:
<track src="track.vtt" id="exampleTrack" />
We get the following results:
const trackElement = document.getElementById("exampleTrack");
// missing value
console.log(trackElement.kind); // "subtitles"
trackElement.kind = "INVALID";
// invalid value
console.log(trackElement.kind); // "metadata"
trackElement.kind = "CAPTIONS";
// valid value
console.log(trackElement.kind); // "captions"
