After trying unsuccesssfully for about a week to split a block of text into spans of words or letters, I finally followed the KISS rule and made something work. Originally, I was trying to recurse through every non-textNode and split the textNodes inside their parentNodes so any HTML inside the supplied node would remain intact. However, some HTML "features" (and lack of sleep) prevented all my attempts from providing me with what I thought would be a simple, robust, and efficient bit of magic. However, now that I have something working it will be easier to refine the code into my original vision.
I probably should read this story daily. It's easy to revert to my old method of productivity.
You can check out the "alpha" version of the text-explode animations here. Depending on your computer, the second one might perform extremely poorly.
great work
im really a fan of u.. u make so much amazing animations.. keep on building your floss :)

Thanks, and thank you for the head-up. As soon as I get a chance to test this stuff in IE6 I'll try to figure out what's causing the problem(s).

Great effects
really cool. Especially the falling leaves effect and the two explodes on the right. will this become part of dojox?
psypath
yes, ideally dojox.fx
yes, ideally dojox.fx
Messing around with Fx
Would there be any way of combining this in with say a dialog box, i had an idea for some trading cards(ie, user clicks on the card, gets full size image, clicks again on fs image and it transitions to the back with a card/flip type of animation). Let me know what you think. Also I was trying to get the transitions to work locl, but keep getting an error saying fx.build is not a function(hits on the interval). Any ideas, I am using newest firefox.
