ACCUMULATE Attribute | accumulate Property

Sets or retrieves a value that indicates whether the animation is cumulative.

Syntax

HTML <ELEMENT ACCUMULATE = sType... >
Scripting object.accumulate(val) [ = sType ]

HTML	<ELEMENT ACCUMULATE = sType... >
Scripting	object.accumulate(val) [ = sType ]

Possible Values

sType String that specifies or receives one of the following values:
none Default. Repeat iterations are not cumulative.
sum Each repeat iteration after the first one builds upon the last value of the previous iteration.
The property is read/write. The property has a default value of none.

Remarks

This property is ignored if the target attribute value does not support addition, or if the repeatCount value is one. Also, cumulative animation is not defined for animation specified using the to attribute.

Example

This example demonstrates the two uses of the accumulate property; none and sum.
