The HTML+TIME capability in IE 5.5 and up allows you to end a parent's time line in synch with a child's timeline, with the endSync() method:

object.endSync = synchOption;

where synchOption can be one of the following:

ValueDescription
firstEnd up a parent's timeline when the first child is not active anymore.
lastEnd up a parent's timeline when the last child is not active anymore.
childIDEnd up a parent's timeline when the specified child is not active anymore.

Examine the following HTML+TIME object. Try figuring out at what time the object will end, in each one of the above cases:

Heading 1

Heading 2

Heading 3

Heading 4

Heading 5
Heading 6

Here is the definition of the HTML+TIME object above:

<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Style Action</TITLE> <STYLE> .time {behavior:url(#default#time2);} </STYLE> <XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX="t"/> </HEAD> <BODY> <t:PAR CLASS="time" REPEATCOUNT="1" ID="parallel"> <H1 ID="hdg1" CLASS="time" STYLE="color:red;" TIMEACTION="style" BEGIN="0" DUR="5">Heading 1</H1> <H2 ID="hdg2" CLASS="time" STYLE="color:red;" TIMEACTION="style" BEGIN="0" DUR="10">Heading 2</H2> <H3 ID="hdg3" CLASS="time" STYLE="color:blue;" TIMEACTION="style" BEGIN="0" DUR="15">Heading 3</H3> <H4 ID="hdg4" CLASS="time" STYLE="color:blue;" TIMEACTION="style" BEGIN="0" DUR="20">Heading 4</H4> <H5 ID="hdg5" CLASS="time" STYLE="color:green;" TIMEACTION="style" BEGIN="0" DUR="25">Heading 5</H5> <H6 ID="hdg6" CLASS="time" STYLE="color:green;" TIMEACTION="style" BEGIN="0" DUR="8">Heading 6</H6> </t:PAR> </BODY> </HTML>
