The videos that may be of help as background information are here Here is the  Tutorial introduction to Styles and Templates. available in HTML or pdf Here is the list of upcoming Webcasts , complete with full descriptions and an opportunity to register. Link to Karen Corby’s excellent 4 part series on the Parts & State Model (great preparation for the August 27 Webcast ) Why couldn’t we animate the Border? You will remember that I was unable to animate the border thickness in my impromptu demonstration of in-state animation. Had I looked at the documentation, I would quickly have found that the border thickness is read-only! Fortunately we were able to animate the opacity which actually gave a more satisfying effect. Source Code The complete source code for today’s web cast is available here.
