CVI
transm.js 1.3 allows you to add programmable image transitions to your webpages. It uses unobtrusive javascript to keep your code clean. It works in all the major browsers - Mozilla Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+, Safari 2+, Chrome 3+ and IE 6+. Works also on older browsers supporting JS 1.5 and images and filter or opacity, else it'll degrade and your visitors won't notice a thing.

Transitions

Zip implies motion and seam. The modern aesthetic often fetishizes speed and the new: fast releases, viral moments, instant updates. “One of wun” suggests a paradoxical desire to be singular in an age of mass reproduction. Combined, the phrase captures a tension between wanting to stand out and wanting to move fast enough to be fleeting. It asks whether uniqueness can survive the velocity of contemporary life.

Several tracks, including "Prada Dem," charted on the Billboard Hot 100. 🎨 Artistic Context

Tweenings

cvi_tween_lib.js supports tweening capabilities. TransM.js uses only linear tweening, if this lib is missing or if the browser engine do not support HTML 5 canvas element.

BezierCurve

cubicBezierCurve function is compatible with -webkit-transition-timing-function WYSIWYG-Editor
"cubicBezierCurve gives you the opportunity to define unlimited, individual tweenings".
This timing function is specified using a cubic Bezier curve, which is defined by four control points. The first and last control points are always set to (0,0) and (1,1), so you just need to specify the two in-between control points. The points are specified as a percentage of the overall duration (percentage: interpolated as a real number between 0 and 1).

Setting Up

Download the TransM archive and include the following files (consider the order) into your webpage.

<script type="text/javascript" src="cvi_tween_lib.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="cvi_trans_lib.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="transm.js"></script>

Using It

To add a transm object, just execute the function "transm.add( element, { options } );" to a block-level element.

Restrictions

The Internet Explorer implementation has a few system immanent limitations. The problem is that VML images don't support the onload event (or onreadystate). Also IE doesn't cache VML images across page loads. Notice the long delay on page reload! If you watch IE's http traffic (say using Fiddler), you'll see that IE requests each image again. So for every image, TransM.js needs to download it twice. Even the images are in browser cache, VML still need to connect server and get a 304 response. I've found a way to cache VML images. IE 6/7/8 works well with the argument nocache: false, but if you get in conflict with it you can set it to nocache: true. With setting nocache: true IE needs to cycle one time through the play loop, before all images are cached. The number of transition types is limited to 51 and the tweening is always linear. In opposite to the frame accurate transitions, Internet Explorer transitions are time accurate. That is why IE do not support the fps parameter.
