Non-standard
This feature is not on a current W3C standards track, but it is supported on the Firefox OS platform. Although implementations may change in the future and it is not supported widely across browsers, it is suitable for use in code dedicated to Firefox OS apps.
This API is available on Firefox OS for privileged or certified applications only.
The getVolume() method of the HTMLIFrameElement gets the current volume of the browser <iframe>.
Syntax
There are two versions of this method, a callback version:
var request = instanceOfHTMLIframeElement.getVolume();
and a Promise version:
instanceOfHTMLIframeElement.getVolume().then(function(volume) { ... });
Returns
- Callback version: A
DOMRequestthat represents the get volume request. It has anonsuccesshandler to handle the success case, and anonerrorhandler to handle the failure case. The volume value is available in therequest.resultproperty, and is a floating point number between 0 and 1. - Promise version: A
Promisethat resolves with the volume value — a floating point number between 0 and 1.
Parameters
None.
Example
Callback version:
var browser = document.querySelector('iframe');
var request = browser.getVolume();
request.onsuccess = function() {
console.log('The current browser volume is ' + request.result);
}
Promise version:
var browser = document.querySelector('iframe');
browser.getVolume().then(function(volume) {
console.log('The current browser volume is ' + volume);
});
