HTML+TIME Transitions in Internet Explorer 6
The inline transitions that Internet Explorer 6 supports are based on the latest SMIL 2.0 specification. In the HTML+TIME world, they are implemented with the use of a t:transitionfilter element. The implementation is a bit early and the browser is in beta so things can always change. But this introductory set of transitions will add a bit more punch to the HTML+TIME framework.

Inside "Skip Intro": An Author Interview
Flash has been in the news quite a bit these days, partly because of the current release and partly because of the ongoing fallout over the Jakob Nielsen article (Flash: 99% Bad). Even Macromedia has gotten into the act, working with Nielsen to improve the face of Flash and the challenge of usability. 'What Nielsen said, apart from the sensationalistic nature of the headline, was bang-on,' said Duncan McAlester, co-author of ‘Skip Intro.’ 'Flash, for the most part, had been used in a very poor manner up until that time (and still is in many cases).'

An Interactive Gallery in HTML+TIME
In this article, I am going to build upon HTML+TIME markup to make my slideshow into an interactive gallery. One of the big selling points behind HTML+TIME is that it offers scripting-like interactivity without having to use scripting. With a few additions to our existing HTML markup, our presentation is ready for user interaction.

Some day, Internet historians will ponder the developments of the year 2000. They will look back and argue who won and who lost the battles of the multimedia browser war.

If I see another goofy Flash interface I am going to scream. Please do not take my prior statement as rejection of everything Flash. I love Flash. I think Macromedia Flash is a wonderful tool with wonderful potential. But along the way, we have a lot of learning to do.

What if you wanted your Web page to give a visual presentation of rotating graphics and text? You could create a massive animated GIF and let it do its work. Or you could create a RealPix and RealText presentation using RealPlayer. Or, with the SMIL power of HTML+TIME, you could do the same in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

SMIL, as more people are beginning to appreciate, can be used for a variety of applications, such as interactive video, video on demand, online training, audio, animation, and more, in ways that were previously unavailable. With SMIL, the ability to create rich media presentations is simplified and is available to any user with a computer and an Internet connection.
