javascript trigger when gif animation is done

Question

I have a site with a not-repeating gif on it, so it looks like it is loading. I would like a javascript script that detects when the gif is done animating, and then redirects to another site.

Is this possible? I can't just set it to like 5 seconds, because diffrent computers/tablets load it in diffrent times.

If you would like to see it in action, then please go ahead and visit https://www.frossblock.dk/misc/loading - It works fine on computers as far as i know, but on tablets/phones it does nt have time enough to complete the full animation.

Kick off the timer in `img onload` ? – Alex K. Jun 24 '14 at 11:55 — Alex K., Jun 24 '14 at 11:55
Could you please give me an example script of this? :) – Sn0wy Jun 24 '14 at 12:10 — Sn0wy, Jun 24 '14 at 12:10

Start a timer equal to the GIF duration when the GIF has loaded;

<img onload="redirect();" style="position:absolute;top:0;bottom:80px;right:0;left:0;margin:auto;" src="../images/loading.gif"" width="150" height="150" />

And in the <head> element:

<script type="text/javascript">   
function redirect() 
{  
  window.setTimeout(function() {
    window.location="../index";
  }, 6700);   
} 
</script>
