Animation Target Attributes

attributeType

Specifies the namespace in which the target attribute and its associated values are defined. The attribute value is one of the following (values are case-sensitive):

value description
CSS This specifies that the value of attributeName is the name of a CSS property defined as animatable in this specification.
XML This specifies that the value of attributeName is the name of an XML attribute defined in the default XML namespace for the target element. If the value for attributeName has an XMLNS prefix, the implementation must use the associated namespace as defined in the scope of the target element. The attribute must be defined as animatable in this specification.
auto The implementation should match the attributeName to an attribute for the target element. The implementation must first search through the list of CSS properties for a matching property name, and if none is found, search the default XML namespace for the element.

The default value is 'auto'.

attributeName

attributeName = <attributeName>

Specifies the name of the target attribute. An XMLNS prefix may be used to indicate the XML namespace for the attribute. The prefix will be interpreted in the scope of the current (i.e., the referencing) animation element.
