Question

How can I tell when an HTML5 audio element has finished playing?

Does it throw events I can listen to or something similar? I need to react when an audio track ends.

Thanks!

According to W3Schools, you can use the onended event to detect if the audio has finished playing.

In jQuery:

$("#player").bind('ended', function(){
    // done playing
    alert("Player stopped");
});
