This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The animationcancel
event is fired when a CSS Animation unexpectedly aborts. In other words, any time it stops running without sending an animationend
event. This might happen when the animation-name
is changed such that the animation is removed, or when the animating node is hidden using CSS. Therefore, either directly or because any of its containing nodes are hidden.
Bubbles | Yes |

Cancelable | No |
Interface | AnimationEvent |
Event handler property | onanimationcancel |
The original target for this event is the Element
that had the animation applied. You can listen for this event on the Document
interface to handle it in the capture or bubbling phases. For full details on this event please see the page on HTMLElement: animationcancel.
Examples
This code adds a listener to the animationcancel
event.
document.addEventListener('animationcancel', () => { console.log('Animation canceled'); });
The same, but using the onanimationcancel
property instead of addEventListener()
:
document.onanimationcancel = () => { console.log('Animation canceled'); };
See a live example of this event.
