Actually, I think this is quite easy in Javascript. If you look at the code listings in the Wikipedia article [1], Javascript has more succinct code than anything but scheme, and scheme's advantage mostly has to do with it's simpler syntax for functions. -- Scott [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/

I believe Interface has added the ability to stop and maybe pause. The last time I played with Dojo it was able to pause an animation but that was a while back. YUI and Scriptaculous ... I'm not sure off hand. I'd have to venture into their docs/source. -- Brandon Aaron On 4/16/07, Brian Cherne

There's got to be someone on the list who knows of something jQuery can't do that Scriptaculous, YUI or Dojo can do. For instance, does any know if another library can cancel/freeze/stop an animation that is in progress? Brian. On 4/16/07, Sean Catchpole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Interesting
