## HTML DOM seeked Event (`onseeked`)
The `seeked` event fires when the user has finished moving or skipping to a new playback position in an audio or video element.
---
## Definition and Usage
The `onseeked` event attribute (or the `seeked` event) is triggered when a seek operation on a media element (like `
` or ``) completes.
### Key Differences and Related Concepts:
* **`seeking` vs. `seeked`**: The `seeking` event fires as soon as the user *starts* moving the playback slider (the playhead) to a new position. The `seeked` event fires only *after* the user has finished moving the slider and the media has successfully jumped to the new position.
* **`currentTime`**: You can use the `currentTime` property of the media element to get or set the current playback position in seconds.

## Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic Video Seeked Event
This example executes a JavaScript function once the user finishes seeking to a new position in the video.
```html
Your browser does not support the video tag.
```
---
### Example 2: Displaying the Current Playback Position
This example uses the `currentTime` property to display the exact second the user jumped to after seeking.
```html
Your browser does not support the video tag.
New playback position: 0 seconds
```
---
### Example 3: Comparing `seeking` and `seeked`
This example demonstrates the sequence of events by tracking both the `seeking` (start of seek) and `seeked` (end of seek) events.
```html
Your browser does not support the video tag.
Interact with the video timeline.
```
---
### Example 4: Audio Seeked Event
The event works identically on `` elements.
```html
Your browser does not support the audio element.
```
