Proper way to reset a GIF animation with display:none on Chrome

Question

Title is self-explanatory, but I\'ll provide a step-by-step view on the matter. Hopefully I\'m not the first one to have noticed this (apparently) bug on Webkit/Chrome.

Answer 1

This solution preloads the gif and takes it out of the dom and then back in the src (thus avoiding another download)

I just tested it using jquery to remove the attribute and it works fine.

Example:

    
    reset gif
