current/duration time of html5 video?

Question

I need a way of getting the total time length of the video and the current time with jquery and displaying it in a couple of <div> tags.

<div id="current">0:00</div> <div id="duration">0:00</div> 

I've been searching all day and I know how to get them I just can't display them. #jquerynoob

HTML:

<video     id="video-active"     class="video-active"     width="640"     height="390"     controls="controls">     <source src="myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> <div id="current">0:00</div> <div id="duration">0:00</div> 

JavaScript:

$(document).ready(function(){   $("#video-active").on(     "timeupdate",      function(event){       onTrackedVideoFrame(this.currentTime, this.duration);     }); });  function onTrackedVideoFrame(currentTime, duration){     $("#current").text(currentTime); //Change #current to currentTime     $("#duration").text(duration) } 

Notes:

Every 15 to 250ms, or whenever the MediaController's media controller position changes, whichever happens least often, the user agent must queue a task to fire a simple event named timeupdate at the MediaController.
