HTMLProgressElement: position property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The position read-only property of the HTMLProgressElement interface returns current progress of the <progress> element.

Value

For determinate progress bar returns the result of current value divided by max value, i.e., a fraction between 0.0 and 1.0.

For indeterminate progress bar the value is always -1.
