This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The Animation.timeline property of the Animation interface returns or sets the timeline associated with this animation.
Syntax
// returns a timeline var animationsTimeline = animation.timeline; // sets a timeline animation.timeline = newTimeline;
Value
A timeline object or null.
Examples
Here we set the animation's timeline to be the same as the document's timeline (this is the default timeline for all animations, by the way):
animation.timeline = document.timeline;
