This topic documents a feature of HTML+TIME 2.0, which is obsolete as of Windows Internet Explorer 9.

The property is read-only. The property has a default value of false.

Remarks

Some streaming formats do not support seeking. The canSeek property should indicate whether a media type supports seeking. Some formats, such as streaming media, do not report the correct information regarding their ability to seek.

Media must be seekable ( canSeek = true), for the clipBegin property or the clipEnd property to work on that media.
