[ MSA ] [ Overview ] [ Readme ] [ Download ] [ Demo ] [ FAQ's ] [ In Action ] Overview Animation allows you to implement simple image animations into your web pages. This script was created before the invention of GIF89 images, which are a MUCH better way to implement animations into your web page and much more efficient for repetitive looping animations. In other words, this script has more or less been obsoleted, but is left here in case you'd rather use it instead of GIF89 or if you want to see the capabilities of multi-part/x-mixed-replace and unbufferred output. Maybe it will help someone. :-) There are several downloading options available below and more information on this script can be found in the Readme file. Readme The Readme files at Matt's Script Archive contain detailed installation, configuration and usage instructions, which take you step by step from placing the scripts on your system to using them in your web pages. You should read these through and keep them by you when setting up or installing any MSA script. It is probably not a bad idea to print them out. Each compressed script package contains a plain text version of the Readme file, however the links below will take you to their HTML counterparts.
