Hey. I am new to webprogramming..so sorry if this question sounds stupid:D
I just wanted to make an animation but in firefox that animation just doesnt appear tho it works great in IE and opera. Do you have any idea what's wrong? I use the function setTimeout() and document.all[id].style...etc to take the value I need. No error but no animation as well=\

You will have to post the code.

BTW: document.all is deprecated at best and unsupported at worst; use document.getElementById('x') instead.

var oImg = document.getElementById("img")
var t = parseInt(oImg.style.top)
var k = 0;

function mve() {
    t += 15;
    oImg.style.top = t + 'px'
    if (k++ < 10) { setTimeout("mve()", 100); }
}

</script>
  </body>
</html>

works fine here in all browsers.

Note: if you set the timeout to a small number [like 1] and your machine is fast enough, the image will appear to jump instead of sliding.
