The dojox.fx.ext-dojo.complex class is an extension of dojo.animateProperty which adds functionality
that animates a "complex property". The primary example is the
clip style: rect(10px 30px 10px 50px).
Frankly, the clip style is not very useful nor exciting. But the dojox.fx.ext-dojo.complex class
will animate any property contained within parenthesis. So it can also be used with (and is actually intended for)
CSS3 properties, such as transform:
transform: rotate(10deg) translateX(0px)
or even gradients (it would only affect the properties within the color-stops):
background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, right top, left top, color-stop(0, #ff0000),color-stop(1.0, #0000FF));
A few notes on the clip:rect() property. IE only accepts no commas - Firefox & Safari accepts both. So.... don't use commas! Also, the node must be set to position:absolute to work.
