Controlling GIF Animations with Jquery?

Is this possible? I did some google search but don't seem to find anything. What I want would be kind of like a stop/play function to a gif image.

Would be awesome.

You cannot control a GIF with jquery, I've tried many times.

What you can do is use libraries to split into single frames and then show one of these as a placeholder instead.

Unfortunately, the DOM doesn't expose individual frames of a GIF, so this is done by downloading the GIF (with XMLHttpRequest), parsing it, and drawing it on a canvas.

No. Gifs are played by the browser. There is nothing you can do about it.

The only thing you can do is replace the image with a placeholder. But that will not stop and start the gif at specific locations of the animation, right when you click/toggle.
