I mean, if i'm using the Motion, how can I control that after the element gets to the end point, an actions starts up!?? Right now I'm using the onComplete event, but it fires much before the element finishes its animation. thanx. How can I make an action to start AFTER all the animation has finished???

Right now I’m using the onComplete event, but it fires much before the element finishes its animation.

thanx.

I haven't investigated methods of injecting stylesheets into the page with JavaScript, but it would be an interesting subject for some research. Timing is a factor, since you would want the CSS to be applied before the page started to be rendered. So how to browsers handle style elements being added before the head element is finished, or just after the body element is started? It would be worth poking around with a search engine to see if anyone has documented this already, and if not, to write some test cases and see what happens. I might do it myself if I find myself with some free time. Of course, doing all that would take some time. The quick and easy solution would be to switch to HTML 4.01, which works in browsers without hacks (while XHTML 1.0 as text/html might be blessed by the RFC, I'm of the opinion that it is still a hack).

Thanks for pointing that out :-) That's the problem when you are writing that on an airplane and rushing to get it on the page. Corrected. ad 2.) I totally agree, but for the sake of quickly getting it done (and simplicity and laziness probably), I choose document.write. But I know it is ugly. I could have gotton all the elements on the page separately and then set their styling properties using YUI, for example. David, if you have a smarter idea to do this (which I think you have :-)) please let me know (bearing in mind that it should not be too overwhelming for a beginners tutorial). @David

You might want to edit your last example so that you reference the Yahoo! hosted YUI files rather than the ones that live inside your LAN :) Also, document.write in an XHTML document? Isn't it a little silly to depend on a DOM 0 feature that most, if not all, browsers with an XHTML mode won't support in that mode?
