Animation: cancel event
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2020.
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.
js
addEventListener("cancel", (event) => { })
oncancel = (event) => { }
Event type
An AnimationPlaybackEvent. Inherits from Event.
Examples
If this animation is canceled, remove its element.
js
animation.oncancel = (event) => {
animation.effect.target.remove();
};
