Effects of transition between HTML pages with help of meta tag
2008-10-17 | Print version
When vistors go to a slow loading page, transitions between web pages can create a dynamic effect while they are waiting. This can also be used to introduce something new and and get the attention of the user. This is very similar to the page transitions available for use in HyperStudio. This can be achieved by using the RevealTrans label in the META tag placed between the
<HEAD> </HEAD> tags in each of the HTML document. You will need to place one for entering a page or for exiting a page. This will work in Internet Explorer Windows only. Netscape does not support this kind of function. There are many Transition Filters that can be used. They are referenced by using a number from 1 to 23. A few are listed below. You can experiment to see what effects the other numbers will produce.
Example:
<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="BlendTrans(Duration=1)" />
<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="BlendTrans(Duration=1)" />
Parameters:
Page-Enter - effect of the appearance of the page
Page-Exit - effect of withdrawal from the page
content - applied effect
