title: Can you control GIF animation with Javascript?
body: <p>Is it possible to use javascript to control which frame of a <code>GIF</code> image is showing and/or stop the animation. I want to be able to load a <code>GIF</code> with several frames and only show one of them. </p>
  
  <p>I know I could do it with lots of separate images, but if I can do what I want with a <code>GIF</code>, it will only be one file to worry about.</p>
