Simple JavaScript Tweening

v 0.2

This is for very basic JavaScript tweening for when other libraries are overkill.

Tested in Firefox 4, Chrome 11, IE 8 and Safari 5.


Run Tween Demo

// Demo code: Runs demoTween1, then demoTween2, then demoTween3
function demoTween1(){
	var target = document.getElementById('demo-guy');
	tween(target, {width: 700, height: 200} ,1, demoTween2);
}
function demoTween2(){
	var target = document.getElementById('demo-guy');
	tween(target, {width: 20}, 1, demoTween3, Quad_easeIn);
}
function demoTween3(){
	var target = document.getElementById('demo-guy',Quad_easeInOut);
	tween(target, {height: 0}, 1);
}
