Cheers, Peter After short research I found out that most pdf readers don't support Java Script (so do xpdf and sumatra). So, this is not really a portable solution.

Any hints for achieving the same result in a portable way without Java Script appreciated.

I think that a luatex solution should be easy (for Hans, hint hint). Collect everything on a page, and do some attribute magic to reveal it one by one (or change colors, etc). Personally, I occasionally use a primitive and ugly solution \StartSteps{4} \startitemize \item ... \2{\item ...} \3{\item ...} \4{\item ...} \stopitemize \StopSteps where \StartSteps collects its body, typesets it 4 times. In the first iteration, \1 = \donoting, everything else is \gobbleoneargument; in the 2nd iteration, \1 and \2 = \donothing and so on. Aditya
