HTMLMediaElement: src property

{{APIRef("HTML DOM")}}

The HTMLMediaElement.src property reflects the value of the HTML media element's src attribute, which indicates the URL of a media resource to use in the element.

[!NOTE] The best way to know the URL of the media resource currently in active use in this element is to look at the value of the {{domxref("HTMLMediaElement.currentSrc", "currentSrc")}} attribute, which also takes into account selection of a best or preferred media resource from a list provided in an {{domxref("HTMLSourceElement")}} (which represents a {{HTMLElement("source")}} element).

Value

Examples

const obj = document.createElement("video");
console.log(obj.src); // ""
