Answer 2

Cant seem to grasp it , taking a look at the following code,
<!--PAGE ANIMATION CAN BE CREATED USING THE "ANIMATE" ELEMENT-->
<rect width="150" height="150" fill="orange">
<animate attributeName="x" from="0" to="300"
dur="3s" fill="freeze" repeatCount="2"/>
</rect>
Without using the <rect> tag, can I animate a text, or otherwise could you or would you get me a working prototype of the example given above
