Visual Effects

The Visual Effects library includes all you need to add advanced Java Script animation to your Web 2.0 web site or application.

To get a grip on what’s this all about, have a look at the Combination Effects Demo.

Also, be sure to get Amy Hoy’s combination effects cheat sheet!

All animation is time-based, not frame based. So, if you tell an effect to last exactly one second, it will do so, regardless of the rendering speed of the browser. And it’s compatible, meaning all this stuff works on Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari and many more browsers.

The Effects themselves are not aware of the type of element they are used on; and are basically designed to be independent of it. As it happens, this isn’t a perfect world, and browsers tend to have their own ideas on which CSS manipulations are allowed on which elements.
