Effect.Transitions
Put simply, a transition in script.aculo.us is a function which transforms an input value to another value and returns it.
Effect.Transitions
is a collection of 8 of those functions which can be used to achieve interesting variations on any effect.
Example
A transition can be specified by using an effects transition
option.
new Effect.Move('id_of_element', {
x: 200, y: 0, mode: 'relative',
transition: Effect.Transitions.spring
});
