Animation

It only stands to reason that once a web page could display a static graphic that someone would want to display an animated graphic. The only problem with animations is that most web pages still contain a fair amount of text and, and I find it difficult to read while ignoring movement on the page. Unfortunately, you may not be able to avoid animations, although you can always encourage web pages authors to restrict their use to pages without much text.

Several different technologies have appeared over time for creating Web page animations. they vary fairly significantly in software requirements and most have found specific niches.
