Definition and Usage
The elapsedTime property returns the number of seconds an animation has been running, when an animation event occurs.
Note: The return value is not affected if the animation is paused (by using the animation-delay CSS property).
Note: For the animationstart event, this property always returns "0".
This property is read-only.
Browser Support
