animated org chart

JOS
Hi

I am looking for some advice on building an animated org chart for
the web. It will allow the user to click on boxes and allow them to
drill into an area. I would like to do this with nice animation
effects

I know it would be possible with flash but I would like you opinon on
doing it in DHTML/
Javascript.

Do you think it would be easily done?
Has anyone come across an example on the web?

Thanks
Jerry

I would have thought it would be very difficult with just DHTML. You'll
be needing lines that join boxes that move as the boxes move. There's no
built in way of doing that with just DHTML. You might look into SVG.
That could definitely do it but I think Internet Explorer doesn't
support it natively (not even IE7). There's work going on with
Silverlight to support SVG but it's most definitely "in progress". It
all depends on your user base and whether you have any influence on
them. For example, if it's employees of your company then it's easy to
say "install this plugin", but if it's just the general public then
that's not so good. In that case you'd probably be better off using Flash.

I'm trying to create an eBay ad. So far, I've got the page the way I want it. However, the few animated gif's I have on the page display but are no longer animated. I can get it to work in FrontPage and 'Preview in Browser'. However, When I enter the URL or when I 'select all' html and paste it into the 'add your own html' box in ebay, the gif's don't animate. If anyone would take the time to scan my 'index.htm' and let me know what...

Is it possible using Image or Bitmap to build and save an animated GIF file? I am not have a problem saving the GIF file just getting the frames added to it. I did find ImageAnimator but it only seems to deal with showing the GIF and not saving it. Thanks, John

Hi there, I'm trying to read an animated gif from a url (for a banner-rotator). The code I have now, does read the gif (or jpg), but the result is that I only get the first frame of the animated gif, AND at a much lower quality :-( Important to note is that the image is read from a url (from a different server), and thus NOT from the local disk. Below is the code I use:

Hi, Do you know of a component for VB .NET that allows me to create animated (flash) charts? I found some of them, but they are only for ASP .NET, instead I'd like to create some charts in VB .NET that will be shown on a large screen to public (so they need to be very eye-appealing). Thanks, Marcos

At the top of the page on my website http://www.itemlook.com I have an animated gif called "eyeline.gif". It has worked fine in the past, but recently I am unable to get it to work using IE6. All that I get is a box with nothing in it. It almost seems as if the file will not open on my page, let alone animate. It still works fine with my Netscape browser. I am using Windows 98. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,

I thought it would be nice to display some animated GIFs on some of my forms. I put a PictureBox control on a form, and loaded my GIF file in. It animates, but not properly. It seems very jerky and dwells on some frames longer than it should. Searching for this problem, I have found several people who have stated that animated GIFs don't work in a PictureBox at all, and you have to use the ImageAnimator. I assume they must be referring to...

Hey, I have a PHP script that I made for an image based shoutbox with emoticons. The problem is that php GD doesn't support animated gifs, yet perl GD does. How would I make it so that I could copy the animated gifs via Perl onto the static image that I made with php? I've tried with php imagecreatefromgif(), which produces a static image. I also tried using the GIFAnimation class from phpclasses to make an animated gif but it returns it as...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
