type property

Sets or gets the type of transition to be applied.

Syntax

JScript
object.type = sTypesType = object.type

 

Property values

Type: String

the name of the transition type that will be applied to renderable content. See the following table for possible values.

Remarks

type was introduced in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.

This attribute is required and must be one of the transition families listed in the following table, or it must be an extended transition type provided by the user agent.

You can apply more than one transitionFilter to a given object. By doing this, you can apply more than one type of transition. This has the possible effect of multiple types of transitions occurring simultaneously to renderable content. See the following example.

If no subtype is specified, the default subtype associated with the transition type is used. The type starWipe is an exception; you must explicitly include the subtype of "fivePoint" for this transition to work.

Type Associated Subtypes
starWipe fivePoint (this must be specified)
barWipe leftToRight, topToBottom
barnDoorWipe vertical, horizontal
irisWipe rectangle, diamond
ellipseWipe circle
clockWipe clockwiseTwelve
fanWipe centerTop
snakeWipe topLeftHorizontal
spiralWipe topLeftClockwise
pushWipe fromLeft
slideWipe fromLeft
fade crossfade

 

Note  You can also use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) transitions as values for TYPE. See Using HTML+TIME Transitions for more information.

 

Examples

This example demonstrates the different transition type values and the possible subtype values that can be used with those type values. In addition, the effects of changing various other attributes of the transitionFilter is also demonstrated.

This example shows three DIVs that have two different transitions applied to them simultaneously.
