transm.js 1.3 allows you to add programmable image transitions to your webpages. It uses unobtrusive javascript to keep your code clean.
It works in all the major browsers - Mozilla Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+, Safari 2+, Chrome 3+ and IE 6+. Works also on older browsers supporting JS 1.5 and images and filter or opacity, else it'll degrade and your visitors won't notice a thing.

F.A.Q.
Restrictions
The Internet Explorer implementation has a few system immanent limitations. The problem is that VML images don't support the onload event (or onreadystate).
Also IE doesn't cache VML images across page loads. Notice the long delay on page reload! If you watch IE's http traffic (say using Fiddler), you'll see that IE requests each image again.
So for every image, TransM.js needs to download it twice. Even the images are in browser cache, VML still need to connect server and get a 304 response.
I've found a way to cache VML images. IE 6/7/8 works well with the argument nocache: false, but if you get in conflict with it you can set it to nocache: true.
With setting nocache: true IE needs to cycle one time through the play loop, before all images are cached.
The number of transition types is limited to 51 and the tweening is always linear.
In opposite to the frame accurate transitions, Internet Explorer transitions are time accurate. That is why IE do not support the fps parameter.
