javascript inner html keep updating

This is to do with the youtube api and getting the current time. 

    var currenttime = ytplayer.getCurrentTime();
    document.getElementById('currenttime').innerHTML = currenttime;

    <p id="currenttime"></p>

How would I make it keep updating the current time so that you can see the time going up on the screen while the video is playing?

You could use a timer that will fetch the time every one second.

var timer = setInterval(function(){
          document.getElementById("currenttime").innerHTML = currenttime;
},1000);

Note:
Take a closer look (on the difference between setInterval and setTimeout): setTimeout or setInterval?
