Hi developers
I tested Frank Bruders script with Firefox 3.0.4 and it worked (thanks
Frank!). I got access to the (in FF) "unknown" animate element. But
unfortunately the fakesmil script doesn't animate my bus track (see an
example here:
http://www.ika.ethz.ch/schnabel/animated_bustrack_testff.svg
Has anyone an idea how to animate the bus track in Firefox? Do I miss
something?
Thanks for any hints.
Regards
Olaf
