Creating a Javascript Animation from Scratch

This is a somewhat advanced tutorial on creating a javascript animation from scratch. I'll walk you through the steps on creating on moving a div x amount of pixels and a specific speed.

If your interested in learning about the addEvent function, you can find an excellent video on Net Tuts+

I've copied the code from functions.js to pastie, and you can view/download it here.

@d1995a3 then maybe you should learn to program.

[d1995a3]
