You can take a look at jQuery animate at

@Zsolti: jQuery is wonderful, but I find it quite hard to create a timeline based animation which is also flexible enough to be treated as a "movie".

I think all of these frameworks will ~~do that for you~~ (reverse isn't supported by all of them I see):

I prefer jQuery.

@Peter: thanks for that, but what about starting an animation from a certain point in time, within the time frame?

I don't think what you're looking for exists, you should write it yourself.

Also I think Adobe is coming out with a set of tools for JS/HTML/CSS animations, you can check their presentation at Google IO.
