getTrackById()

The TextTrackList method getTrackById() returns the first TextTrack object from the track list whose id matches the specified string. This lets you find a specified track if you know its ID string.

Paramters

id

A DOMString indicating the ID of the track to locate within the track list.

Return value

A TextTrack object indicating the first track found within the TextTrackList whose id matches the specified string. If no match is found, this method returns null.
