Remarks

The prefix anim is used to associate this attribute with an XML namespace. You must include this prefix when using the anim:DA element. To define this namespace prefix, include the following line of code in the head section of your HTML document.

<XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX="anim"/>

You also must define the custom DA element and associate it with the default anim behavior. You can do this by adding the following line of code to the style block of your document.

<STYLE>
    anim\:DA    { behavior: url(#default#anim); }
</STYLE>

You also must use the height and width properties, as shown in the following line of code, to make the DirectAnimation viewer display properly.

<anim:DA STYLE="width:400; height:200;" />

Other inline style properties can be used to control the DirectAnimation viewer's position and z-index.

The anim:DA element is available as of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, only in the Microsoft Win32 platform.
