Flow of electricity

["Galt, Stuart A" <stuart.a.galt@boeing.com>]

Hello all,

Here is a simple "budget animation".  I use two different methods to 
create the delays.  The first method is to make a call to setTimeout()
and is used to highlight the components of the circuit.  The second
method
is a simple timer delay loop that is crude but is used to show the flow
of electricity along the wire.

I would have sent this out sooner but I was having an issue making the
image behave the way I would like it too so I restructured the graphic 
till the problem went away :)  I would love to get my hands on more DOM
enable viewers to play with.  

As I start making more complex images/applications I am finding myself 
wishing I had a either getStyleProperty() or removeStyleProperty()
method
(I realize that this is difficult to implement) and the ability to make
several DOM changes without waiting for a redraw between each one.

If you find any problems with either the CGM or the html please let me
know.

The circuit below contains the following components:

Circuit with a battery, switch and a lamp

Click on the switch to complete the circuit and allow the electricity to flow from the positive side of the battery through the lamp and switch to the negative side of the battery.
