Can you control GIF animation with Javascript?

Solution

You can do it with a single image using CSS sprites.

Problem

Is it possible to use javascript to control which frame of a `GIF` image is showing and/or stop the animation. I want to be able to load a `GIF` with several frames and only show one of them. I know I could do it with lots of separate images, but if I can do what I want with a `GIF`, it will only be one file to worry about.
