Is it possable to stop or pause an animated gif from javaScript
No, the HTML IMG element in the DOM does not have any animation control.
All you can do is change the image displayed and hope that the browser
will play the animation from the start when a new image is loaded.
Unfortunately the timing in browsers (setTiimeout and setInterval) is
not very precise, consistent or predictable.
