GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 353854
JavaScript animations stop midway
Last modified: 2006-12-21 20:21:02 UTC
Please describe the problem: I've noticed this primarily with animations based on Prototype.js, but it may apply to other JS libraries as well. Some JavaScript animations seem to "stick" partway through and don't continue. This can be a real problem with sites trying to be "Web 2.0" relying heavily on animating page elements as part of the normal site use. Tracks (http://www.rousette.org.uk/projects/) frequent sticks while adding new tasks. Steps to reproduce: 1. Visit http://moofx.mad4milk.net/ 2. The first section should only expand partially 3. Click the green header and animation will continue a few frames 4. Keep clicking until the animation completes Actual results: You need to click repeatedly on the headers for the section to expand. Expected results: Clicking one of the headers should cause the section to expand fully. The expected behavior can be seen in Firefox. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information:

(In reply to comment #2) > That url doesn't load :|. Which one? They both load fine for me.
Ok, I found a non-Prototype-based sample as well: http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos This same problem occurs for all demos in the FX section.
This has the same symptoms of bug #353115. I'm marking this as duplicate of it. Thanks for your report and for your time Matthew!. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 353115 ***
Bug #353115 seems to be specific to Firefox 2, but I'm using Epiphany 2.14.3 and Firefox 1.5.0.7. Sites like Gmail, Google Calendar, and Digg all work for me and most AJAXy sites work fine. This problem is specific to animating DOM elements: changing size or color.
Oops, sorry I misread it.
Upgrading to Epiphany 2.16 has fixed the animation problems.
