Show: Attributes

Attribute Readonly Description accelerate false Defines a simple acceleration of time for the element. Legal values are floating point values between 0 and 1 (inclusive). The default value is 0 (no acceleration). accumulate false Controls whether or not the animation is cumulative. Acceptable values: Value Description sum Specifies that the animation is cumulative, i.e. each repeat iteration after the first builds upon the last value of the previous iteration. none Specifies that the animation is non-cumulative, i.e. repeat iterations simply repeat the animation function f(t). This is the default. additive false Controls whether or not the animation is additive. Acceptable values: Value Description sum Specifies that the animation is additive, i.e. will add to the underlying value of the attribute and other lower priority animations. replace Specifies that the animation is non-additive, i.e. will override the underlying value of the attribute and other lower priority animations. This is the default. attributeName false Specifies the name of the target attribute. attributeType false Specifies the namespace in which the target attribute and its associated values are defined. Acceptable values: Value Description CSS This specifies that the value of attributeName is the name of a CSS property, as defined for the host document. XML This specifies that the value of "attributeName" is the name of an XML attribute defined in the default XML namespace for the target element. auto The implementation should match the attributeName to an attribute for the target element. This is the default. autoReverse false Controls autoReverse playback mode. Acceptable values: Value Description true Reverse playing. false Do not reverse playing. This is the default. begin false Defines when the element becomes active. by false Specifies a relative offset value for the animation. calcMode false Specifies the interpolation mode for the animation. Acceptable values: Value Description discrete This specifies that the animation function will jump from one value to the next without any interpolation. linear Simple linear interpolation between values is used to calculate the animation function. This is the default. paced Defines interpolation to produce an even pace of change across the animation. decelerate false Defines a simple deceleration of time for the element. Legal values are floating point values between 0 and 1 (inclusive). The default value is 0 (no deceleration). dur false Specifies the simple duration. end false Defines an end value for the element that may constrain the active duration. fill false The fill attribute allows an author to specify that an element should be extended beyond the active duration by freezing the final state of the element. Acceptable values: Value Description remove Specifies that the element will not extend past the end of the last instance of the simple duration. freeze Specifies that the element will extend past the end of the last instance of the simple duration by "freezing" the element state at that point. hold Setting this to "hold" has the same effect as setting to "freeze", except that the element is always frozen to extend to the end of the simple duration of the parent time container of the element (independent of the type of time container). from false Specifies the starting value of the animation. repeatCount false Specifies the number of iterations of the simple duration (Numeric value). When set to "indefinite" the element is defined to repeat indefinitely repeatDur false Specifies the total duration for repeat (Clock value). When set to "indefinite" the element is defined to repeat indefinitely speed false The speed attribute controls the local playback speed of an element, to speed up or slow down the effective rate of play relative to the parent time container. targetElement false This attribute specifies the target element to be animated. to false Specifies the ending value of the animation. values false A semicolon-separated list of one or more values, each of which must be a legal value for the specified attribute.
