Abstract
Embodiments provide animations with an animation engine decoupled from an animation catalog storing animation definitions. A computing device accesses at least one of the animation definitions corresponding to at least one markup language (ML) element to be animated. Final attribute values associated with the ML element are identified (e.g., provided by the caller or defined in the animation definition). The computing device animates the ML element using the accessed animation definition and the identified final attribute values. In some embodiments, the animation engine uses a single timer to animate a plurality of hypertext markup language (HTML) elements displayed by a browser.
