Spritely is a jQuery plugin for creating dynamic character and background animation in pure HTML and JavaScript. It is a light-weight plugin with a few simple methods that allow you to easily create animated sprites and scrolling backgrounds. It is a cross browser plugin that works on all major browsers including iPhone and Internet Explorer 6.
Spritely provides two key methods, sprite() and pan() both of which simply animate the background-image CSS property of an element. The difference between the two is that a ’sprite’ image contains two or more ‘frames’ of animation, whereas a ‘pan’ image contains a continuous image which pans left or right and then repeats.
