10 CSS And Javascript Animation Plugins, Frameworks and Libraries

Introduction

Website animation has became one of the design trend this year, check out my previous about about website with javascript animation effects. A lot of company has started to move forward and embrace HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript trinity, though not much of intensive animation like flash, with good planning and creative thinking, simple animation with those technology are good enough to impress most of us.

Also, CSS3 animation has been a popular topic due to the rise of CSS3 even though not all browsers support it yet. Webkit browsers support CSS3 animation pretty well, firefox is getting into it. Not IE, except version 10.
