Stopping Animated Gifs

Feb 16, 2007

I'd like to write Javascript that stops animated gifs from animating.

On Firefox, at least, window.stop(); does the trick, although it stops
everything on the page and is kind of unpredictable. If I connect it
to the onload event, sometimes only half the page will be displayed.
Does the onload even fire before rendering?

Does anyone know a reasonable way to accomplish my original goal of
stopping animating gifs from animating?

Javascript And Animated Gifs

Jul 15, 2002

I used a javascript function to pass a php variable to a pop up window. The problem is that when the new widow opens the old main page's animated gifs stop cycling. I have to re-load the page to get them working again once the pop up is closed. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Animated Gifs Not Animating In Non-IE Browsers / Why Is So?

Nov 25, 2010

Does anyone have an explanation for why animated .gifs might not animate in FF, Chrome, etc.? Only IE does it right for me.

I suspect it might have something to do with tables squeezing the graphic (if the .gif is inside a table with a 100% width cell... but even giving the cell with the .gif a width doesn't seem to help.)

Is it true?

I realise tables are not best used for this purpose, but did this also happen in the good old tables days?

Animated Gifs Not Displaying Correctly When Using SetTimeout Only In Firefox?

Dec 29, 2010

I am trying to make a simple image change involving an animated gif using javascript. After 5 seconds, the original image (which is simply a transparent pixel gif) changes to an animated gif.

in the body:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

[Code]...

I know this isn't a problem with the gif itself, because displaying the gif in firefox does not produce any issues. Does anyone know why these problems are occurring in firefox? I'd like not to have to use a broken src link to make it work, and it's weird that that's a way to solve the animation issues.

Long JavaScript Processes Prevent Animated GIFs Animation

Oct 26, 2007

I am working on some JavaScript, that amongst other things does
searches in an index. The search can take a couple of seconds, and I
would like to disable the form button that the user clicked to trigger
the search. In addition I would like an animated GIF to appear,
visualizing that a search process is ongoing.

My problem is: While the procedure that implements the search is
executed, the browser window is not refreshed. The button stays in
"down" mode, the gif freezes.

Is there some command I could insert in between my code statements
that lets the browser refresh it's window's contents?

Stopping Ctl-click In IE

Jul 23, 2005

I have a situation where I want to react to a ctrl-click on a <span> and
it works in Netscape and Firefox browsers but in IE I have a problem.
In IE I do catch the ctrl-click but IE also renders the span in inverse
video, essentially selecting the item.

Here is a short sample that demonstrates the issue:

<html><head>
<script type="text/javascript">

function Clicked(evt){
evt.cancelBubble=true;
}

</script></head>
<body>
<SPAN onClick="Clicked(event);">click me</SPAN>
</body></html>

I thought the cancelBubble would prevent the event from triggering the
selection from happening but I think that the ctrl-click selection
happens before I get control.

Is there a way to prevent the selection from being rendered on ctrl-
click while still allowing my javascript to react to the event?

Mouseout Stopping A Function

May 12, 2006

I have a function that is activated by a mouseover. The function
triggers an image rotation. I need to stop the rotation on the
mouseout but I don't know how to do this. the mouseover triggers the
rotate() function below. currently the mouseout produces the default
image but then it keeps cycling the other images.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
if(document.images) {
bubbles = new Image
off = new Image
bubbles.src = "images/bubbles.jpg"
off.src = "default.jpg"
}
else {
bubbles = ""
off = ""
}

adImages = new Array("images/whitemarble.jpg", "images/bubbles.jpg",
"images/oak.jpg")
thisAd = 0

imgCt = adImages.length

function rotate() {
if (document.images) {
thisAd++
if(thisAd == imgCt) {
thisAd = 0
}
document.ImgField.src=adImages[thisAd]
setTimeout("rotate()", 3 * 1000)
}
}
</script>

IE Not Stopping Default Event

Apr 5, 2007

I'm currently overriding function keys (F1 to F4) to perform other
actions. In order to do this the default popup windows of Help (F1),
Seach(F3) etc must be turned off. In FF it's easy enought to do using
the preventDefault and stopPropagation event functions.

IE's equivalent is supposed to be cancelBubble and returnValue,
however I can not seem to get them to stop no matter what I try.

Can someone please point out my error? The test code is below....

Stopping A Switch Function?

Nov 19, 2011

I have a switch function with four cases: each case executes a sequence of six css changes.How to stop it, if the viewer wants to abort, by choose another menu option?I've done a trawl, and the closest I've come to finding something which could be adapted is from this site,by MattEvans, a while back, buit it had to do with a loop in the function to be stopped:create a public/global variable called "stopped", set it to false when you start the loop.inside the loop put:

if(stopped){
break;
}

then when you press "cancel" set the stopped variable to true .So, maybe something like

var=stopped
function wrapSwitch() {
if(stopped){ break; }

[code]....

Stopping Location Load

Sep 17, 2005

If I have a submit button like

<input type="submit" value="submit" onClick="Check()">


how do I keep it from loading the action part of the form when clicked if Check() returns false.... Say check is:

function Check()
{
var flag = true;

if(document.someForm.someInput.value == &#391;')
{
flag = false;
//Therefore I don't want the page to go to another page..
}}

Can I somehow stop the submit buttons operation if a certain condition has not been met.

Diplaying Animated Gif

Feb 6, 2006

I'm building an upload page and I'm using javascipt to show/hide an
animated gif when they click the upload button but when it is displayed
the animation stops during the upload process? Is this because of the
cpu load or any ideas on what could be causing this? I'm using PHP to
upload the file. Here is my code to show/hide the gif.

function UploadImage( f ){
if(f.userfile.value.length < 1)
{
f.bUpload.disabled = false;
f.bCancel.disabled = false;
f.bUpload.value = 'Upload'
alert("Please select a file to upload!");
f.userfile.focus();
return false;
}
else {
f.bUpload.disabled = true;
f.bCancel.disabled = true;
f.bUpload.value = 'Uploading....Please Wait'
return true;
}
}

Stopping User From Pasting Into A Text Box

Dec 21, 2005

I know this might sound weird, but I have a form where I ask the user to
enter their email address in one text box and then again in a confirm email
text box to make sure that they have entered it correctly.

My problem is that many users appear to type their email address in the
first box and then copy and paste it into the 2nd box.

If they typed it incorrectly the first time then all they have done is
confirmed that it is wrong.

Is there anyway that I can stop them pasting into the confirm email text box
so that they have to type it twice?

JQuery :: Stopping Actions From Happening?

Aug 16, 2010

I have a text box where a user can press enter, tab (keypress) or click out of it (focusout) and an action happens. The box then gets removed. The problem is, the user presses enter, but that event is fired and then as the text box is removed the focus out is firing again.

How do I prevent removing the text box from firing the focusout action? I can remove the action totally but the text box could be returned to the document later.

Stopping Enter Submitting Forms On IE?

Jan 29, 2010

I have a simple form that works via a suggested results system [URL]

While in firefox the go button is greyed out and enter doesn't submit the form in IE pressing the enter key submits the form.

Is there any way with a bit of javascript to stop IE from doing a form submission on enter but only for this form (since there are many more on the site)

<form action="index.php" method="GET" name="qsform" id="qsform"><input type="hidden" name="p" id="p" value="compdetails" style="border:1px solid #000000;" /><input type="text" name="quicksearch" id="quicksearch" value="Find Company" style="border:1px solid #000000;" onFocus="clearText(this)" onBlur="clearText(this)" /><input type="hidden" name="cid" id="cid" value="" style="border:1px solid #000000;" /> <input type="submit" name="go" id="go" value="Go" disabled="true" /></form>
