Animation: cancel event
Baseline 2022
Newly available
Since September 2022, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.
The cancel event of the Animation interface is fired when the Animation.cancel() method is called or when the animation enters the "idle" play state from another state, such as when the animation is removed from an element before it finishes playing.
Note: Creating a new animation that is initially idle does not trigger a cancel event on the new animation.
Syntax
Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.
addEventListener("cancel", (event) => { })
oncancel = (event) => { }
Event type
An AnimationPlaybackEvent. Inherits from Event.
Event properties
In addition to the properties listed below, properties from the parent interface, Event, are available.
AnimationPlaybackEvent.currentTimeRead only-
The current time of the animation that generated the event.
AnimationPlaybackEvent.timelineTimeRead only-
The time value of the timeline of the animation that generated the event.
Examples
If this animation is canceled, remove its element.
animation.oncancel = (event) => {
animation.effect.target.remove();
};
