How to calculate when video is finished

I'm creating a rewards site where people can watch videos to earn points. The problem is that people will skip to the end of the video to earn their points. Therefore, I need to track when the video is done by a timer.

I have the following code:

var video_percent_count = 0;

function video_percent() {

  var prize_video = document.getElementById("prize_video");
  total_duration = Math.floor(prize_video.duration) + 1;

  video_percent_count++;
  percent = =total_duration / video_percent_count;
  alert(percent);
}

To summarize, the code is adding to a variable every second, this is the timer. The function then grabs the total duration, then divides it by the timer for a percentage.

The function is not outputting a proper percentage, why is this code incorrect?

You've got a syntax error:

percent = =total_duration / video_percent_count;

Should be:

percent = total_duration / video_percent_count;

Notice the second = is removed.

In the future, you can use the web console to find simple syntax errors such as this one.
