Objects
Object Description
currTimeState Contains information about an HTML+TIME timeline.

Remarks

The prefix t: is used to associate this element with an XML namespace. You must declare the XML namespace in the html tag of your document when using this element.
<HTML XMLNS:t ="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:time">
You must then import the tag definitions from the time2 behavior by using the IMPORT processing instruction.
<?IMPORT namespace="t" implementation="#default#time2">
The members listed in the following table might not be accessible through scripting until the window.onload event fires. Waiting for this event to fire ensures that the page is completely loaded, that all behaviors have been applied to corresponding elements on the page, and that all the behavior's properties, methods, and events are available for scripting. Using any of the behavior-defined members before the window.onload event fires could result in a scripting error, indicating that the object does not support that particular member.
This element is not rendered.
This element requires a closing tag.

This example shows how to use the transitionFilter to transition an element in and out of view.
<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>
<DIV STYLE="width:270" CLASS="time" DUR="8" ID="oDiv">
<t:TRANSITIONFILTER BEGIN="oDiv.begin" DUR="3" TYPE="clockWipe"/>
<t:TRANSITIONFILTER BEGIN="oDiv.end-3" DUR="3" MODE="out" TYPE="fade"/>
This DIV Transitions In, Stays For Two Seconds, And Then Transitions Out.
