SVGAnimationElement: endEvent event

Baseline 2026
Newly available

Since May 2026, this feature works across the latest devices and browser versions. This feature might not work in older devices or browsers.

The endEvent event of the SVGAnimationElement interface is fired when at the active end of the animation is reached.

Note: This event is not raised at the simple end of each animation repeat. This event may be raised both in the course of normal (i.e., scheduled or interactive) timeline play, as well as in the case that the element was ended with a DOM method.

This event is not cancelable and does not bubble.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js
addEventListener("endEvent", (event) => { })

onend = (event) => { }

Event type

A TimeEvent. Inherits from Event.

Event TimeEvent

Examples

Animated circle

html
<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="300px" height="100px">
  <title>SVG SMIL Animate with Path</title>
  <circle cx="0" cy="50" r="50" fill="blue" stroke="black" stroke-width="1">
    <animateMotion path="M 0 0 H 300 Z" dur="5s" repeatCount="indefinite" />
  </circle>
</svg>

<hr />

<button>Stop animation</button>

<ul></ul>
css
ul {
  height: 100px;
  border: 1px solid #dddddd;
  overflow-y: scroll;
  padding: 10px 30px;
}
js
let svgElem = document.querySelector("svg");
let animateElem = document.querySelector("animateMotion");
let list = document.querySelector("ul");
let btn = document.querySelector("button");

animateElem.addEventListener("beginEvent", () => {
  let listItem = document.createElement("li");
  listItem.textContent = "beginEvent fired";
  list.appendChild(listItem);
});

animateElem.addEventListener("endEvent", () => {
  let listItem = document.createElement("li");
  listItem.textContent = "endEvent fired";
  list.appendChild(listItem);
});

animateElem.addEventListener("repeatEvent", (e) => {
  let listItem = document.createElement("li");
  let msg = "repeatEvent fired";
  if (e.detail) {
    msg += `; repeat number: ${e.detail}`;
  }
  listItem.textContent = msg;
  list.appendChild(listItem);
});

btn.addEventListener("click", () => {
  btn.disabled = true;
  animateElem.setAttribute("repeatCount", "1");
});

Event handler property equivalent

Note that you can also create an event listener for the end event using the onend event handler property:

js
animateElem.onend = () => {
  console.log("endEvent fired");
};
