It's bytefx style and it could be used, for example in these ways:
onload = function(){
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.id = "test";
div.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Hello Gradient !"));
document.body.appendChild(div);
gradient("test", "#000000", "#FFFFFF", 10, "color", function(id){
gradient(id, "#FFFFFF", "#000000", 20, "backgroundColor", function(id){
gradient(id, "#FFFFFF", "#676767", 5)
})
});
};
... or in a Flash RollOver/Out style:
onload = function(){
var div = document.createElement("div");
div.id = "test";
div.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Hello Gradient !"));
document.body.appendChild(div);
div.colors = ["#000000", "#ABABAB"];
div.bgcolors = ["#FFFFFF", "#000000"];
div.newGradient = function(gradients){
if(this.gradients) {
clearInterval(this.gradients[0]);
clearInterval(this.gradients[1]);
};
this.gradients = [gradient.apply(null, gradients[0]), gradient.apply(null, gradients[1])];
};
div.onmouseover = function(){
this.newGradient([
[this.id, this.colors[0], this.colors[1]],
[this.id, this.bgcolors[0], this.bgcolors[1], 10, "backgroundColor"]
])
};
div.onmouseout = function(){
this.newGradient([
[this.id, this.colors[1], this.colors[0]],
[this.id, this.bgcolors[1], this.bgcolors[0], 10, "backgroundColor"]
])
};
};
Have fun with grandients and colors :-)
