TIMELINE Attribute | timeline Property

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 Internet Link

, please note that these features are subject to change.

Sets or retrieves the type of timeline associated with an HTML element.

Syntax

HTML <ELEMENT STYLE="behavior:url(#default#time);" t:TIMELINE = sType... >

Scripting object.timeline [ = sType ]

HTML	<ELEMENT STYLE="behavior:url(#default#time);" t:TIMELINE = sType... >
Scripting	object.timeline [ = sType ]

Possible Values

sType String that specifies one of the following values:

none Current element does not define a local timeline and has no affect on its contained time descendants.

par New timeline container element in a document. All HTML descendants of this element have independent, or parallel, timing.

seq Sequence timeline container element in a document. All HTML descendants of this element are timed as though they have a BEGINAFTER attribute set to the previous element.

The property is read/write with a default value of none. This property cannot be modified in script after the onload event fires on the document body.

Remarks

The prefix t is used to associate this attribute with an XML namespace.

Example

This example uses the TIMELINE attribute to create a parallel time container.

Sample Code

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
.time        	{ behavior: url(#default#time);}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="white">
<SPAN ID="parent" CLASS="time" t:TIMELINE="par" t:BEGIN="0"
    t:DUR="10">
    <P>This paragraph inherits the "parallel" timeline set on its
    parent <SPAN> element. It will be displayed for ten 
    seconds. <BR><BR>
    </P>
    <P CLASS="time" t:BEGIN="5">This paragraph also inherits the
    "parallel" timeline set on its parent <SPAN> element, but it
    can have independent timing attributes as well.<BR><BR>
    </P>
</SPAN>
<P>This paragraph is not a child of the <SPAN> element 
containing a timeline.</P>
