ANIMATION Element | animation Behavior

This document describes technologies available as an experimental implementation of HTML+TIME within Internet Explorer 5. While we encourage you to evaluate these features and to send us your feedback, please note that these features are subject to change.

Defines a timed animation element in an HTML document.

Syntax

XML	<t:ANIMATION ID="sID" STYLE="behavior:url(#default#time)" />
HTML	N/A
Scripting	N/A

Possible Values

sID	String that specifies a unique identifier for the object.

Members

animation Members

Remarks

The members listed in the preceding table might not be accessible through scripting until the window.onload event fires. Waiting for this event to fire ensures that the page is completely loaded, that all behaviors have been applied to corresponding elements on the page, and that all the behavior's properties, methods, and events are available for scripting. Using any of the behavior-defined members before the window.onload event fires could cause a scripting error, indicating that the object does not support a particular member.

Although different media-based elements exist, there is no functional difference in their current implementation. However, you are encouraged to use elements such as ANIMATION, AUDIO, IMG, MEDIA, and VIDEO for improved document readability and enhanced future support.

The prefix t is used to associate this element with an XML namespace. You must include the following line of code in the HEAD section of your HTML document when using this element.

<XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX="t"/>

The ANIMATION element is available as of Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5, only in the Microsoft® Win32® platform.
