The load event on the media element arrives at the end of the parsing of the element, because of the empty (or absent) xlink:href. When the load event occurs in this case is subject to the specification of this media element. If this media element has embedding semantics, an empty xlink:href attribute would result in infinite recursion; generally such a media element cannot load successfully and I would consequently not expect the load event to occur but the error event to occur instead. JCD: Sorry, you lost me there. An SVG/SMIL media element with an empty xlink:href just does not render: it is definitely not in error. The load event will happen. I suppose that the recording is stopped by a mean resident on the camera (button). From the point of view of the media element, there is no way of knowing about the end of the media. I would like to have: - an event at the beginning of the recording, to start a "recording" animation - I do not care about events during the recording, because the duration is unknown, so I have no way of slaving my animation to any "progress" indication representing completeness - I want an event at the end of the recording, in order to terminate the "recording" animation. It seems that if the implementation knows about the end of the recording it also knows about the end of the media, so I am not really sure what you are trying to say. JCD: again, you lost me: my POV is that of the content. Can I design the content so that it can react to the end of the recording, e.g. by stopping an animation ? The machine knows, the UA software may know, but is there a way to let the content know ? Tha is my problem. Best regards JC -- Jean-Claude Dufourd - Chief Scientist, Streamezzo 21, av.
