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 getMuted()
method of the HTMLIFrameElement
indicates whether the browser <iframe>
is currently muted.
Syntax
There are two versions of this method, a callback version:
var request = instanceOfHTMLIframeElement.getMuted();
and a Promise
version:
instanceOfHTMLIframeElement.getMuted().then(function(muted) { ... });
Returns
- Callback version: A
DOMRequest
that represents the get muted request. It has anonsuccess
handler to handle the success case, and anonerror
handler to handle the failure case. The muted value is available in therequest.result
property, and is aBoolean
value —true
means muted, andfalse
means unmuted. - Promise version: A
Promise
that resolves with the muted value — aBoolean
wheretrue
means muted, andfalse
means unmuted.
Parameters
None.
Example

var browser = document.querySelector('iframe'); var request = browser.getMuted(); request.onsuccess = function() { if(request.result) { console.log('The browser is muted.'); } else { console.log('The browser is unmuted.'); } }

version:
