Suggested improvements to MochiKit.Visual

[Per Cederberg-2]

I just ran across http://berniecode.com/writing/animator.html, which
seems to provide quite nice visual effects (similar to
MochiKit.Visual). Think there are a few transitions there that might
be useful for MochiKit.Visual too. And some nifty CSS class morphing.
Also, the actual examples are very nice for showing composite effects
in a way that should also be possible with MochiKit.Visual.

Anyway, if someone uses the MochiKit.Visual package, it might be
interesting to port some of the stuff over to enhance our offering.
Also, the visual effects demo page could include one or two examples
from the page above.

Cheers,

/Per

That Animation library looks pretty cool to me.  I don't use Visual
much myself, largely because my experiences with it have been negative
(I had serious performance problems and strange glitches the last time
I tried using it).  However, if it was as slick as the Animation
library appears to be (I've only toyed with a few examples in a single
browser so far), I could totally see myself going back to it.

Yes, it seems the author wasn't satisfied with Scriptaculous (which
parts of MochiKit.Visual was ported from) so he wrote his own...

Regarding your experiences with MochiKit.Visual, I also ran into
issues initially. But I've since updated the docs to make it a bit
easier next time around. Guess there are still rough edges left
though... :-(

Perhaps one or two these designs could be ported to MochiKit.Visual?
At its base, they seem based around the same idea of a controlled
value transition from 0 to 1 (mapped onto whatever property that is
being modified).
