# SMIL In HTML

Internet Explorer can run SMIL presentations inside HTML files.

## Running SMIL Presentations in IE

With Internet Explorer 5.5 or later, SMIL elements can be inserted into HTML files.

This way any SMIL presentation can run over the Internet as standard HTML files.

## Adding References

To use SMIL elements in HTML you must define a "time" namespace for Internet Explorer to recognize the elements. This is done by:

- Adding a namespace definition to the <html> tag.
- Adding an <?import> element to import the "time" namespace.

To add SMIL attributes to standard HTML elements you must define a "time" class for Internet Explorer to recognize the attributes. This is done by:

- Adding a <style> element to define the class "time".

    <html xmlns:time="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:time">
    <head>
      <?import namespace="time" implementation="#default#time2">
      <style>.time {behavior: url(#default#time2)}</style>
    </head>

You can see the full running example in the next paragraph.

## Adding SMIL Elements

To run a SMIL presentation in HTML, just add a prefix and a class attribute to the SMIL elements:

    <time:seq repeatCount="indefinite">
      <img class="time" src="image1.jpg" dur="3s" />
      <img class="time" src="image2.jpg" dur="3s" />
    </time:seq>

In the example above we have added class="time" to the <img> elements, and a "time" prefix to the SMIL elements

To run a SMIL presentation in HTML, just add a prefix and a class attribute to the SMIL elements:

The class and namespace do not have to be called "time". Any name will do.

## A Internet Explorer Example

    <html xmlns:time="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:time">
    <head>
      <?import namespace="time" implementation="#default#time2">
      <style>.time {behavior: url(#default#time2)}</style>
    </head>

    <body>
      <time:seq repeatCount="indefinite">
        <img class="time" src="image1.jpg" dur="3s" />
        <img class="time" src="image2.jpg" dur="3s" />
      </time:seq>
    </body>
    </html>
