How can our DHTML animations be smoother?
This is the question Morten Wang addressed so well in his article Smooth animation using DHTML: Can It Be Done?
Now, Mark Szlazak contributes to the on-going discussion with the results of extensive tests that he's performed, and a few improvement suggestions that I'm sure you'll find interesting.
Mark is a chiropractor with a full-time practice in Mountain View, CA. In between seeing patients and authoring papers, Mark has somehow found the time to help cure our DHTML pains, too.
Knowledge of the concepts discussed in Smooth animation using DHTML: Can It Be Done.
Familiarity with the setTimeout() and setInterval() methods. Countless examples of both can be found here at DHTML Lab. A good use of both is discussed in our Fader and Puzzle scripts.
