All, I've been working for a while now on an animated homepage for wicket (not that we *have* to use it, it is a gimmick), and it was originally based on animate.js (the proposed animation library). I also converted it to yahoo animation (which is quite similar), and this way we can see the differences between the two (peformance, API, etc).
You can see the difference between the two libs here: http://people.apache.org/~dashorst/animation/animator.html http://people.apache.org/~dashorst/animation/yahoo.html If you want to see the difference between rendering engines: I found that firefox has the best javascript support for these animations. Safari runs at a snails pace (I had to tweak the animation for that to make it run faster). Lessons learned: - animate.js is a really nice and powerful library - yahoo animation gives similar results, and has a bit better animation management - safari sucks performance wise for javascript - the api for yahoo and animate is strikingly similar, with just a couple of differences I haven't tested this with IE so that may be completely broken.
