Remarks

The event fires once for each repetition of the timeline, excluding the first full cycle. Therefore, the onrepeat event fires repeatCount? times unless it is stopped by other dependencies before completion. This event fires only if the repeatCount or repeatDur property is set directly on the element. This event does not fire on child elements that have the repeatCount or repeatDur property set only on their parent elements.

Example

This example displays a message box that indicates the current repeat iteration every time the onrepeat event fires on a timeline.
