First, please note that I'm using Elementor Pro for this project, then I can't use css easily because the html structure is complex. That's why I'm trying to do this with Javascript.
I'd like to move my image above my h1 title for tablets and mobile, and that it stays above the description on larger screens.
Here is my code (pure javascript, no jquery)
let title = document.getElementById("product-title");
let image = document.getElementById("product-image");
let resizeProductPage = function () {
if(typeof(title) != 'undefined' && title != null){
let width = window.innerWidth;
if (width<1025)
title.parentNode.insertBefore(image, title);
else
image.parentNode.insertBefore(title, image);
}
};
resizeProductPage();
window.addEventListener("resize", resizeProductPage);
but it doesn't work, and I find the code rather complex. would you have an idea?
Your code seems to be fine, but here is what you should do.
Under edit with elementor, at the component editor you
should be able to specify the ID for the title element to: product-title & the image element to: product-image
Your conditional checking if the title element exists should be adapted to just if (title) as it will return false if that element does not exist.
Other than that your code should be working fine, I made a working solution as a snippet.
let title = document.getElementById("product-title");
let image = document.getElementById("product-image");
let resizeProductPage = function() {
if (title) {
if (window.innerWidth < 1025)
title.parentNode.insertBefore(image, title);
else
image.parentNode.insertBefore(title, image);
}
};
resizeProductPage();
window.addEventListener("resize", resizeProductPage);
#product-image {
background: black;
text-align: center;
height: 200px;
width: 400px;
}
#product-image p {
color: #fff;
}
<h1 id="product-title">Product Title</h1>
<div id="product-image">
<p>Image Here</p>
</div>
I am trying to resize the side bars whenever the image changes.
I have my javascript trying grab the height of the image after it changes
var imgHeight = $('#mainImg').height();
var currImg = 0;
var imagesSet = ["1.jpg", "2.jpg", "3.jpg", "4.jpg", "5.jpg", "6.jpg"];
var imageLoc = "images/zalman/"
$('#bttnRight').click(function(){
nextImg();
imgHeight = $('#mainImg').height();
resizeBttn();
});
function nextImg(){
currImg++;
if(currImg>=imagesSet.length){
currImg=0;
}
$('#mainImg').attr("src",imageLoc + imagesSet[currImg]);
}
function resizeBttn() {
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#bttnLeft').css("height",imgHeight);
$('#bttnLeft').css("bottom",imgHeight/2-5);
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#bttnRight').css("height",imgHeight);
$('#bttnRight').css("bottom",imgHeight/2-5);
});
}
for some reason, it doesn't always grab the height at the correct time and the side bars will stay at the previous height.
Below I have a JSFiddle that should be working the way my setup is.
Please excuse any inconsistencies and inefficiencies, I am learning.
Just seems weird that it would sometimes grab the height and sometimes not.
I will also be attaching an image of what I see sometimes from the JSfiddle.
I will also attach an image of what I see on my site I am actually writing.

The issue is because your JavaScript accessing the height of the image before the image as actually been re-rendered in the DOM. Adding a slight delay after assigning the new image source may help things, but...
You actually don't need to use JavaScript to set the height of the buttons
You can achieve what you're after by placing the buttons and image inside of a container with css attribute display: flex.
Like this:
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
<div class="container">
<button class="prev"><</button>
<img src="https://www.avalonwinery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/200x300.gif">
<button class="next">></button>
</div>
Elements within a flex container will automatically fill the height, this includes buttons. Because the images will automatically adjust the height of the container, the buttons will also automatically adjust their height to match.
Run the example below
const images = [
"https://www.avalonwinery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/200x300.gif",
"https://images.sftcdn.net/images/t_app-logo-xl,f_auto/p/ce2ece60-9b32-11e6-95ab-00163ed833e7/1578981868/the-test-fun-for-friends-logo.png",
"https://hiveconnect.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/800x600.png",
"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b5/800x600_Wallpaper_Blue_Sky.png"
]
const imageEl = document.querySelector('img')
let imageIndex = 0
document.querySelector('.prev').addEventListener('click', e => {
if (--imageIndex < 0) { imageIndex = images.length - 1 }
imageEl.src = images[imageIndex]
})
document.querySelector('.next').addEventListener('click', e => {
if (++imageIndex > images.length - 1) { imageIndex = 0 }
imageEl.src = images[imageIndex]
})
body {
background-color: #206a5d;
color: #ffffff;
text-align: center;
}
.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
}
img {
max-width: 50%;
}
<h1>Zalman Build</h1>
<div class="container">
<button class="prev"><</button>
<img src="https://www.avalonwinery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/200x300.gif">
<button class="next">></button>
</div>
The reason is because the resizeBttn code is firing before the image has actually finished downloading and loading into the DOM. I made these changes in your fiddle:
var imgHeight = $('#mainImg').height();
var currImg = 0;
var imagesSet = ["https://www.avalonwinery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/200x300.gif","https://images.sftcdn.net/images/t_app-logo-xl,f_auto/p/ce2ece60-9b32-11e6-95ab-00163ed833e7/1578981868/the-test-fun-for-friends-logo.png", "https://hiveconnect.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/800x600.png", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b5/800x600_Wallpaper_Blue_Sky.png"];
var imageLoc = "images/zalman/"
$(document).ready(function() {
resizeBttn();
});
$( window ).resize(function() {
/* imgHeight = $('#mainImg').height() */; // commented out; we do this in resizeBttn now
resizeBttn();
});
$('#bttnLeft').click(function(){
prevImg();
/* imgHeight = $('#mainImg').height() */; // commented out; we do this in resizeBttn now
/* resizeBttn() */; // we do this as an `onload` to the image now
});
$('#bttnRight').click(function(){
nextImg();
/* imgHeight = $('#mainImg').height() */; // commented out; we do this in resizeBttn now
/* resizeBttn() */; // we do this as an `onload` to the image now
});
function nextImg(){
currImg++;
if(currImg>=imagesSet.length){
currImg=0;
}
$('#mainImg').attr("src",imagesSet[currImg]);
}
function prevImg(){
currImg--;
if(currImg<0){
currImg=imagesSet.length-1;
}
$('#mainImg').attr("src",imagesSet[currImg]);
}
function resizeBttn() {
imgHeight = $('#mainImg').height()
// removed superfluous doc.ready
$('#bttnLeft').css("height",imgHeight);
$('#bttnLeft').css("bottom",imgHeight/2-5);
$('#bttnRight').css("height",imgHeight);
$('#bttnRight').css("bottom",imgHeight/2-5);
}
And then rewrote your <img /> tag to call resizeBttn on onload:
<img id="mainImg" src="https://www.avalonwinery.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/200x300.gif" onload="resizeBttn()"/>
You can see this in action in this fiddle.
Also, a few additional notes on your code, at a glance:
You have some invalid HTML; you're going to want to run that through an HTML validator and fix it, because sometimes it is fine, but sometimes it can lead to all sorts of strange behavior.
You're playing fast and l0ose with global variables in your JS that get set in different functions; it might work OK while the script is small, but as things scale it can quickly become difficult to maintain
You should really avoid abusing the onclick to get link-like behavior from <li> elements; it can impact SEO as well as accessibility. I'd recommend simply using an anchor element inside or outside the <li>
I'd recommend taking a close look at this answer by user camaulay; he makes an excellent point that this may not require JS at all- if a more elegant solution exists w/ CSS it is probably going to be more performant and maintainable.
my question has 3 parts. Any assistance with any part of this JS problem would be greatly appreciated. I am attempting to learn and comprehend JS by trial and error.
I've created this nice looking travel landing page, https://portfolioprime.github.io/Nature%20carousel/glidejs.html with a thumbnail carousel which uses Glide.js, which is really cool and works well. The carousel moves to the left and has arrow buttons to manually control the slide.
But I've been trying to implement a vanilla JS carousel slider,but I am failing miserably. Been struggling for 2 days and the best I can achieve is getting a single carousel item moving left and right. See https://portfolioprime.github.io/Nature%20carousel/.
What I'd like is to get the carousel sliding left automatically, with arrow buttons to manually control the slider.
I'm targeting all the carousel-items with querySelectorAll('.carousel-items') and adding left:-274px to the carousel container glide__slides.
Here's my JS code.
// var & event-listener buttons
document.querySelector(".left").addEventListener("click", slideLeft);
document.querySelector(".right").addEventListener("click", slideRight);
// Function slide left
function slideLeft(left) {
document.querySelector('.glide__slides').style.left = left;
}
// Function slide left
function slideRight(right) {
document.querySelector('.glide__slides').style.left = right;
}
Secondly, I'd like to have an active carousel-item, which when active automatically changes the background Image.
Right now I have the hero.style.background = var; and I've got it changing onclick with onclick = function('01.jpg') on each carousel item.
Here's the code.
// Change Hero Img
function heroChange(hmmm) {
var hero = document.querySelector('.hero');
hero.style.background = hmmm;
}
So I guess I would add EventListeners to the carousel-items and add an active class to the carousel-item like so,
var slides = document.querySelectorAll('.carousel-items');
function changeBgImg() {
slides.forEach(s => s.classList.remove('active');
this.classList.add('active');
//change the bg image === this
//But I have no idea how to do that
}
Thirdly I've got the content, background and carousel indicators using the same functions above but it seems like really dirty code. The HTML has each .carousel-item, there are ten of them, calling 4 functions each. It looks like this:
<div class="glide hero-carousel">
<div class="glide__track" data-glide-el="track">
<ul class="glide__slides">
<li class="glide__slide carousel-item"
onclick="heroChange('url(images/02.jpg) bottom/cover no-repeat');
number('01');
h4('Destination Shire');
h1('Valley<br> of Dreams');">
<div class="carousel-text">
<p>Destination Shire</p>
<h3>Valley<br> of Dreams</h3>
</div>
</li>
<li class="glide__slide carousel-item"
onclick="heroChange('url(images/03.jpg) bottom/cover no-repeat');
number('02');
h4('Destination Westwood');
h1('Misty<br> Woodlands');">
<div class="carousel-text">
<p>Destination Westwood</p>
<h3>Misty<br> Woodlands</h3>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
So it looks pretty yucky. It works though, but I would love to find a more elegant way of achieving this by putting all of these functions into one function that does each part in sequence.
Lastly, I'd want to get transition on-click animations going but that's another kettle of fish entirely.
So that's it. Whew!
Thanks for taking the time guys, I appreciate it. Any help you can provide is going to make me a better designer. There are actually a bunch of projects I have will benefit from the answers.
If you can provide help with at least Part 2 & 3: cleaning up the code into 1 function and getting the bg-image changing on the active class that would be a big big help.
There's just so much that JS can do and I'm not finding the answers on Google and youTube.
Thank you again.
An Update:
I have edited the slider by by using margin-left as shown by this question:
vanilla javascript carousel not sliding
// var & event-listener buttons
document.querySelector(".left").addEventListener("click", slideLeft);
document.querySelector(".right").addEventListener("click", slideRight);
let marginLeft = 0;
const slides = document.querySelector('.glide__slides');
// Function slide left
function slideLeft() {
marginLeft += 264;
slides.style.marginLeft = marginLeft + 'px';
console.log(getComputedStyle(slides).marginLeft);
}
// Function slide Right
function slideRight() {
marginLeft -= 264;
slides.style.marginLeft = marginLeft + 'px';
console.log(getComputedStyle(slides).marginLeft);
}
This has now got the carousel moving manually 1 slide at a time.
Still not fully understanding why my previous code above didn't work. If anyone can explain that to me that would be great.
I'm still left with some issues:
Autosliding and looping at the end of the slides.
Having the active slider change the background automatically. At this point it only changes onclick.
Finding a way to tidy up the function calls and functions.
The question asks for various ideas on how to simplify code and how to use native JavaScript to create a slider that rolls continuously.
The code originally used glider and it may be something simpler would be sufficient to get the desired result, for example using animationend event to change the background when a slide gets to the left hand side. However, eating the elephant slowly I'll tackle the yucky code (part 3) first.
Although the HTML looks rather daunting, 4 calls on a click for every li element for example, it is currently what is required so let's investigate creating it at run time. This gives us more easily maintainable code. For example, if we want to remove a slide, or alter the order of slides or add one we can just alter the slider array defined below and JavaScript will do the rest.
Part 1 of the question asked about sliding. We slide the whole ul element using CSS animation defined something like this, where 33vw is the total width of a slide (inc. margins/padding)
#keyframes sliding0 {
0% { left: 0; }
30% { left: 0; }
100% { left: -33vw; }
}
and we add an event listener to the element to trap animationend events because when the ul has slid one slide's width we want to change the hero image, and we want to put the slide that has just disappeared onto the back of the infinie sliding will work. We then set the animation running again.
See the snippet for details on how this and other events are dealt with. It also shows how the changeHero function can work which was part 2 of the question. Note, the snippet works more or less in the SO environment, though occasionally hover action is partially ignored. Running the code on your own machine it should be fine though.

Hi everyone sorry for the question but I have been changing url's, ""(those things), ''( and those) for the past hour.
I am trying to change the background url of a div. I know this has been asked before, but there where no answers there about using an array with links to the images. Instead the person put the links in the brackets of the function which I think is pretty nasty code.
this is what I am trying:
HTML
<div id="display"></div>
<img alt="img" src="img/option/img1">
<img alt="img" src="img/option/img2">
CSS
#display{
width: 750px;
height: 500px;
overflow: hidden;
background:url(../img/img1.JPG);
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
}
JS
var display = document.getElementById('display');
var imgs = [
'img/img1.JPG',
'img/img2.JPG'
];
function changeimg(x, e) {
var i = x;
display.style.backgroundImage = "url(imgs[i])";
e.preventDefault();
}
when I do this I get an ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND message in the console.
when I copy one of the links of the array in the url like:
display.style.backgroundImage = "url(img/img2.JPG)";
it changes the image to the one linked. So how do I make the index work?
(note that i am using separate images for display in the 'display' and for the options. I did this so the website doesnt have to load 20 huge images but 1)
Thx for any help!
Try Using ES6 Template literals. For your problem, replace your code with the below one.
display.style.backgroundImage =url(${imgs[i]});
Use as below:
var display = document.getElementById('display');
var imgs = [
'img/img1.JPG',
'img/img2.JPG'
];
function changeimg(x, e) {
var i = x;
display.style.backgroundImage = "url('"+ imgs[i] + "')"
e.preventDefault();
}
Hope this helps!
I have a page with a lot of GIFs.
<img src="gif/1303552574110.1.gif" alt="" >
<img src="gif/1302919192204.gif" alt="" >
<img src="gif/1303642234740.gif" alt="" >
<img src="gif/1303822879528.gif" alt="" >
<img src="gif/1303825584512.gif" alt="" >
What I'm looking for
1 On page load => Animations for all gifs are stopped
2 On mouseover => Animations starts for that one gif
3 On mouseout => Animation stops again for that gif
I suppose this can be done in Jquery but I don't know how.
No, you can't control the animation of the images.
You would need two versions of each image, one that is animated, and one that's not. On hover you can easily change from one image to another.
Example:
$(function(){
$('img').each(function(e){
var src = $(e).attr('src');
$(e).hover(function(){
$(this).attr('src', src.replace('.gif', '_anim.gif'));
}, function(){
$(this).attr('src', src);
});
});
});
Update:
Time goes by, and possibilities change. As kritzikatzi pointed out, having two versions of the image is not the only option, you can apparently use a canvas element to create a copy of the first frame of the animation. Note that this doesn't work in all browsers, IE 8 for example doesn't support the canvas element.
I realise this answer is late, but I found a rather simple, elegant, and effective solution to this problem and felt it necessary to post it here.
However one thing I feel I need to make clear is that this doesn't start gif animation on mouseover, pause it on mouseout, and continue it when you mouseover it again. That, unfortunately, is impossible to do with gifs. (It is possible to do with a string of images displayed one after another to look like a gif, but taking apart every frame of your gifs and copying all those urls into a script would be time consuming)
What my solution does is make an image looks like it starts moving on mouseover. You make the first frame of your gif an image and put that image on the webpage then replace the image with the gif on mouseover and it looks like it starts moving. It resets on mouseout.
Just insert this script in the head section of your HTML:
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#imgAnimate").hover(
function()
{
$(this).attr("src", "GIF URL HERE");
},
function()
{
$(this).attr("src", "STATIC IMAGE URL HERE");
});
});
And put this code in the img tag of the image you want to animate.
id="imgAnimate"
This will load the gif on mouseover, so it will seem like your image starts moving. (This is better than loading the gif onload because then the transition from static image to gif is choppy because the gif will start on a random frame)
for more than one image just recreate the script create a function:
<script type="text/javascript">
var staticGifSuffix = "-static.gif";
var gifSuffix = ".gif";
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".img-animate").each(function () {
$(this).hover(
function()
{
var originalSrc = $(this).attr("src");
$(this).attr("src", originalSrc.replace(staticGifSuffix, gifSuffix));
},
function()
{
var originalSrc = $(this).attr("src");
$(this).attr("src", originalSrc.replace(gifSuffix, staticGifSuffix));
}
);
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<img class="img-animate" src="example-static.gif" >
<img class="img-animate" src="example-static.gif" >
<img class="img-animate" src="example-static.gif" >
<img class="img-animate" src="example-static.gif" >
<img class="img-animate" src="example-static.gif" >
</body>
That code block is a functioning web page (based on the information you have given me) that will display the static images and on hover, load and display the gif's. All you have to do is insert the url's for the static images.
I think the jQuery plugin freezeframe.js might come in handy for you. freezeframe.js is a jQuery Plugin To Automatically Pause GIFs And Restart Animating On Mouse Hover.
I guess you can easily adapt it to make it work on page load instead.
The best option is probably to have a still image which you replace the gif with when you want to stop it.
<img src="gif/1303552574110.1.gif" alt="" class="anim" >
<img src="gif/1302919192204.gif" alt="" class="anim" >

You probably want to have two arrays containing paths to the still and animated gifs which you can assign to each image.
found a working solution here:
https://codepen.io/hoanghals/pen/dZrWLZ
JS here:
var gifElements = document.querySelectorAll('img.gif');
for(var e in gifElements) {
var element = gifElements[e];
if(element.nodeName == 'IMG') {
var supergif = new SuperGif({
gif: element,
progressbar_height: 0,
auto_play: false,
});
var controlElement = document.createElement("div");
controlElement.className = "gifcontrol loading g"+e;
supergif.load((function(controlElement) {
controlElement.className = "gifcontrol paused";
var playing = false;
controlElement.addEventListener("click", function(){
if(playing) {
this.pause();
playing = false;
controlElement.className = "gifcontrol paused";
} else {
this.play();
playing = true;
controlElement.className = "gifcontrol playing";
}
}.bind(this, controlElement));
}.bind(supergif))(controlElement));
var canvas = supergif.get_canvas();
controlElement.style.width = canvas.width+"px";
controlElement.style.height = canvas.height+"px";
controlElement.style.left = canvas.offsetLeft+"px";
var containerElement = canvas.parentNode;
containerElement.appendChild(controlElement);
}
}

You can solve this by having a long stripe that you show in steps, like a filmstrip. Then you can stop the film on any frame.
Example below (fiddle available at http://jsfiddle.net/HPXq4/9/):
the markup:
<div class="thumbnail-wrapper">
<img src="blah.jpg">
</div>
the css:
.thumbnail-wrapper{
width:190px;
height:100px;
overflow:hidden;
position:absolute;
}
.thumbnail-wrapper img{
position:relative;
top:0;
}
the js:
var gifTimer;
var currentGifId=null;
var step = 100; //height of a thumbnail
$('.thumbnail-wrapper img').hover(
function(){
currentGifId = $(this)
gifTimer = setInterval(playGif,500);
},
function(){
clearInterval(gifTimer);
currentGifId=null;
}
);
var playGif = function(){
var top = parseInt(currentGifId.css('top'))-step;
var max = currentGifId.height();
console.log(top,max)
if(max+top<=0){
console.log('reset')
top=0;
}
currentGifId.css('top',top);
}
obviously, this can be optimized much further, but I simplified this example for readability
A more elegant version of Mark Kramer's would be to do the following:
function animateImg(id, gifSrc){
var $el = $(id),
staticSrc = $el.attr('src');
$el.hover(
function(){
$(this).attr("src", gifSrc);
},
function(){
$(this).attr("src", staticSrc);
});
}
$(document).ready(function(){
animateImg('#id1', 'gif/gif1.gif');
animateImg('#id2', 'gif/gif2.gif');
});
Or even better would be to use data attributes:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.animated-img').each(function(){
var $el = $(this),
staticSrc = $el.attr('src'),
gifSrc = $el.data('gifSrc');
$el.hover(
function(){
$(this).attr("src", gifSrc);
},
function(){
$(this).attr("src", staticSrc);
});
});
});
And the img el would look something like:
<img class="animated-img" src=".../img.jpg" data-gif-src=".../gif.gif" />
Note: This code is untested but should work fine.
For restarting the animation of a gif image, you can use the code:
$('#img_gif').attr('src','file.gif?' + Math.random());
Related answer, you can specify the number of playbacks on a gif. The below gif has 3 playbacks associated with it (10 second timer, 30 second playback total). After 30 seconds have passed since page load, it stops at "0:01".
Refresh the page to restart all 3 playbacks
You have to modify the gif itself. An easy tool is found here for modifying GIF playbacks https://ezgif.com/loop-count.
To see an example of a single-loop playback gif in action on a landing page, checkout this site using a single playback gif https://git-lfs.github.com/
This answer builds on that of Sourabh, who pointed out an HTML/CSS/JavaScript combo at https://codepen.io/hoanghals/pen/dZrWLZ that did the job. I tried this, and made a complete web page including the CSS and JavaScript, which I tried on my site. As CodePens have a habit of disappearing, I decided to show it here. I'm also showing a simplified stripped-to-essentials version, to demonstrate the minimum that one needs to do.
I must also note one thing. The code at the above link, whose JavaScript Sourabh copies, refers to a JavaScript constructor SuperGif() . I don't think Sourabh explained that, and neither does the CodePen. An easy search showed that it's defined in buzzfeed /
libgif-js , which can be downloaded from https://github.com/buzzfeed/libgif-js#readme . Look for the control that the red arrow below is pointing at, then click on the green "Code" button. (N.B. You won't see the red arrow: that's me showing you where to look.)
A menu will pop up offering various options including to download a zip file. Download it, and extract it into your HTML directory or a subdirectory thereof.
Next, I'm going to show the two pages that I made. The first is derived from the CodePen. The second is stripped to its essentials, and shows the minimum you need in order to use SuperGif.
So here's the complete HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the first page. In the head of the HTML is a link to libgif.js , which is the file you need from the zip file. Then, the body of the HTML starts with some text about cat pictures, and follows it with a link to an animated cat GIF at https://media.giphy.com/media/Byana3FscAMGQ/giphy.gif .
It then continues with some CSS. The CodePen uses SCSS, which for anyone who doesn't know, has to be preprocessed into CSS. I've done that, so what's in the code below is genuine CSS.
Finally, there's the JavaScript.
<html>
<head>
<script src="libgif-js-master/libgif.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div style="width: 600px; margin: auto; text-align: center; font-family: arial">
<p>
And so, the unwritten law of the internet, that any
experiment involving video/images must involve cats in
one way or another, reared its head again. When would
the internet's fascination with cats come to an end?
Never. The answer is "Never".

When I put the page on my website and displayed it, the top looked like this:
And when I pressed the pink button, the page changed to this, and the GIF started animating. (The cat laps water falling from a tap.)
To end, here's the second, simple, page. Unlike the first, this doesn't have a fancy Play/Pause control that changes shape: it just has two buttons. The only thing the code does that isn't essential is to disable whichever button is not relevant, and to insert some space between the buttons.
<html>
<head>
<script src="libgif-js-master/libgif.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<button type="button" onclick="play()"
id="play_button"
style="margin-right:9px;"
>
Play
</button>
<button type="button" onclick="pause()"
id="pause_button"
>
Pause
</button>
<img src="https://media.giphy.com/media/Byana3FscAMGQ/giphy.gif"
id="gif"
/>
<script>
var gif_element = document.getElementById( "gif" );
var supergif = new SuperGif( {
gif: gif_element,
progressbar_height: 0,
auto_play: false
} );
supergif.load();
function play()
{
var play_button = document.getElementById( "play_button" );
play_button.disabled = true;
var pause_button = document.getElementById( "pause_button" );
pause_button.disabled = false;
supergif.play();
}
function pause()
{
var play_button = document.getElementById( "play_button" );
play_button.disabled = false;
var pause_button = document.getElementById( "pause_button" );
pause_button.disabled = true;
supergif.pause();
}
pause_button.disabled = true;

This, plus the example.html file in libgif-js, should be enough to get anyone started.
There is only one way from what I am aware.
Have 2 images, first a jpeg with first frame(or whatever you want) of the gif and the actual gif.
Load the page with the jpeg in place and on mouse over replace the jpeg with the gif. You can preload the gifs if you want or if they are of big size show a loading while the gif is loading and then replace the jpeg with it.
If you whant it to bi linear as in have the gif play on mouse over, stop it on mouse out and then resume play from the frame you stopped, then this cannot be done with javascript+gif combo.
Adding a suffix like this:
$('#img_gif').attr('src','file.gif?' + Math.random());
the browser is compelled to download a new image every time the user accesses the page. Moreover the client cache may be quickly filled.
Here follows the alternative solution I tested on Chrome 49 and Firefox 45.
In the css stylesheet set the display property as 'none', like this:
#img_gif{
display:'none';
}
Outside the '$(document).ready' statement insert:
$(window).load(function(){ $('#img_gif').show(); });
Every time the user accesses the page, the animation will be started after the complete load of all the elements. This is the only way I found to sincronize gif and html5 animations.
Please note that:
The gif animation will not restart after refreshing the page (like pressing "F5").
The "$(document).ready" statement doesn't produce the same effect of "$(window).load".
The property "visibility" doesn't produce the same effect of "display".
css filter can stop gif from playing in chrome
just add
filter: blur(0.001px);
to your img tag then gif freezed to load via chrome performance concern :)
