Does anyone know if it is possible to make tables move using html. I know it is possible to do with layers by using a timeline. I am working with Dreamweaver MX and I am try to substitute dhtml to do some animation instead of using flash. Any help would be great. thanks, rookie
sounds interesting, however what exactly are you trying to animate ? are you trying to make the entire table move across the screen ? make some borders appear and disappear ? cheers Michael
I'm trying to animate the header (graphic) on my page come together from different pieces. Kind of like this, the image iss divided into pieces (five or so) and a couple pieces will come from the right side, a couple from the left side and one from the top. The reason I would like to use table is because the graphic needs to stay in the center of the page (moves when the browser is resized, which layers can not do). Any ideas?
absoluetely you would be able to do this relatively easily in DHTML, im not sure what browser version/types you are trying to support, so that could be an issue. DHTML would be the easiest way, if you wanted to support all sorts of browsers/versions, javascript would be the way I would go personally, but probably a little more coding to be done. DHTML is best suited to IE and in particular higher versions, i.e at least version 5.0, im not sure what netscape and other browsers support, although I would imagine newer browsers like firefox and alike would all support DHTML as well, they would be crazy not to. so just depends dont think it would take too much to sit down and nut it out with DHTML. cheers Michael
Michael, I've looked at a lot of different articles and tutorials on DHTML and I have not been able to find anything about animating tables. Do you know of any websites that have information on this perticular topic? thanks Jon
