A declarative approach for HTML Timing using SMIL Timesheets
A simple use case is to define an HTML rotating banner. Here’s an example, blatantly stolen from PortableLinuxApps.org but described with pure SMIL attributes:
CSS transition: | | | | |
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> […] <script type="text/javascript" src="timesheets.js"></script> </head> <body> […] <div id="banner" data-timecontainer="seq" data-repeatcount="indefinite"> <img data-dur="3s" src="images/dosbox.png" alt="[…]"> <img data-dur="3s" src="images/gnote.png" alt="[…]"> <img data-dur="3s" src="images/gpodder.png" alt="[…]"> <img data-dur="3s" src="images/transmission.png" alt="[…]"> </div> […] </body> </html>
Not SMIL compliant but passes the W3C validator. Does not require XHTML.
Warning: to be HTML5-compliant, data-*
attributes have to be lowercase.
