This topic documents a feature of HTML+TIME 2.0, which is obsolete as of Windows Internet Explorer 9.

Sets or gets a variable that indicates whether an element transitions in or out.

Sets or gets a variable that indicates whether an element transitions in or out.

Syntax

HTML <t:TRANSITIONFILTER MODE = sMode... >
Scripting [ sMode = ] t:TRANSITIONFILTER.mode

Possible Values

sMode String that specifies or receives one of the following values.
in
Default. The element transitions in.
out
The element transitions out.

The property is read/write. The property has a default value of in.

Remarks

mode was introduced in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.

The legal value of in indicates that the transition content becomes more visible as the transition progress increases, and the value of out indicates that the transition content becomes less visible as the transition progress increases. The mode attribute does not automatically tie the transitionFilter to the beginning or end of the media. Use the begin attribute on the transitionFilter to indicate the begin time.

You can apply a transition to a media element at any time during its active period. If MODE is set to in and the t:TRANSITIONFILTER is applied to the media element in the middle of its active period, then the media element disappears for a moment and transitions in. If MODE is set to out, then the media element transitions out and immediately reappears.

You cannot return the default value of the mode property through script unless the default value is set by the attribute or through script.

Example

The example below demonstrates the use of the mode attribute to transition renderable content in and out of visibility.

<HTML XMLNS:t = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:time">
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
    .time{behavior: url(#default#time2);}
</STYLE>
<?import namespace = t urn = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:time" 
implementation = "#default#time2" />
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<t:TRANSITIONFILTER TYPE="barWipe" DUR="3" TARGETELEMENT="oDiv1" MODE="in" 
ID="transitionPlay1"/>
<t:TRANSITIONFILTER TYPE="barWipe" DUR="3" TARGETELEMENT="oDiv2" MODE="out" 
ID="transitionPlay2"/>

<DIV CLASS="time"  BEGIN="0" ID="oDiv1" DUR="indefinite"  
STYLE="position:relative; left:20px; width:420px; height:100px; 
background-image:url(ART_time_progress.gif); background-repeat: no-repeat;">
</DIV>
