JavaScript preprocessors can help make authoring JavaScript easier and more convenient. For instance, CoffeeScript can help prevent easy-to-make mistakes and offer a cleaner syntax and Babel can bring ECMAScript 6 features to browsers that only support ECMAScript 5.
Any URL's added here will be added as <script>
s in order, and run before the JavaScript in the editor. You can use the URL of any other Pen and it will include the JavaScript from that Pen.
You can apply a script from anywhere on the web to your Pen. Just put a URL to it here and we'll add it, in the order you have them, before the JavaScript in the Pen itself.
If the script you link to has the file extension of a preprocessor, we'll attempt to process it before applying.
You can also link to another Pen here, and we'll pull the JavaScript from that Pen and include it. If it's using a matching preprocessor, we'll combine the code before preprocessing, so you can use the linked Pen as a true dependency.

<h1>Synching Animation Clocks with the Web Animation API</h1>
<p>This demo was made for <a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/?p=210830">my post on Smashing Magazine about where web animation is headed.</a> It uses a <a href="https://github.com/web-animations/web-animations-js">polyfill</a> to enable the Web Animation API. (Psst: Check out the JavaScript and CSS to see how it's done.) To learn more about the Web Animation API, <a href="http://rachelnabors.com/waapi/">check out my WAAPI resource page!</a></p>
<div id="CSSCats">
<h2>Cats animated with <br />CSS Animations</h2>
<p>Currently, it is impossible to synch two separate animations with CSS animations. Try adding new cats animated with CSS below. Notice that they do not run in synch with each other.</p>
<div class="cat withCSS"></div>
<button onclick="animateNewCatWithCSS()">Add a Cat</button>
</div>
<div id="WAAPICats">
<h2>Cats animated with the <br />Web Animation API</h2>
<p>But with the Web Animation API, you're able to set the <code>startTime</code> value across animations to properly synch them. When you add cats with the Web Animation API, they run lockstep!</p>
<div class="cat" id="withWAAPI"></div>
<button onclick="animateNewCatWithWAAPI()">Add a Cat</button>
</div>

background: url(http://stash.rachelnabors.com/24ways2012/cat_sprite.png) -800px 0 no-repeat;

}
/* The cats animated with CSS have their running animations set with CSS */
