    Window.cancelAnimationFrame()

    This is an experimental technology
    Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.

    Summary

    Cancels an animation frame request previously scheduled through a call to window.requestAnimationFrame().

    Syntax

    window.cancelAnimationFrame(requestID);

    Note: Prior to Firefox 23, the function is vendor-prefixed window.mozCancelAnimationFrame(). See the compatibility table, below, for other browser implementations.

    Parameters

    requestID
    The ID value returned by the call to window.requestAnimationFrame() that requested the callback.

    Examples

    var requestAnimationFrame = window.requestAnimationFrame || window.mozRequestAnimationFrame ||
                            window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame || window.msRequestAnimationFrame;

var cancelAnimationFrame = window.cancelAnimationFrame || window.mozCancelAnimationFrame;

var start = window.mozAnimationStartTime;  // Only supported in FF. Other browsers can use something like Date.now().

var myReq;

function step(timestamp) {
  var progress = timestamp - start;
  d.style.left = Math.min(progress/10, 200) + "px";
  if (progress < 2000) {
    myReq = requestAnimationFrame(step);
  }
}
myReq = requestAnimationFrame(step);

window.cancelAnimationFrame(myReq);
