Sets or gets a set of Bezier control points that define the interval pacing of an animation.

Property values
Type: String
a semicolon-delimited list of Bezier control points associated with the keyTimes list. Each control point is a set of four floating-point values, describing the Bezier control points for one time segment. The control points are listed in the following order:
Remarks
The keyTimes values that define the associated time segment are the Bezier anchor points for the spline that determines how the animation is interpolated during that time segment. The keySplines values are the control points for the spline. Therefore, there must be one fewer set of control points than keyTimes values.
The keySplines value is ignored unless the calcMode property is set to spline.
Examples
This example demonstrates how to use the keySplines property and the keyTimes property to set the pace of an animation. The keySplines property contains a list of Bezier control points to define the interval pacing of the animated DIV. The keyTimes property contains a list of time values to control the pacing of the animated DIV.
