Dissolving the present window!!! 1

[Jay1Roy]

Hi,

I have a small problem. I have written a script that, by changing the bgcolor of the document, gives a dissolving effect to the current page.

But I want that when my page loads, it should first dissolve the present page (some xyz page from somewhere) and then open my page. The previous page in the browser can be any other page NOT AUTHORED BY ME. how do I control that page??? Please suggest...

Thanx

Jayanta

I don't think you CAN control a page that isn't yours. Tracy Dryden

Awhile back there was a thread in the HTML forum that showed the META tags that you can use to transition into your page. If you really have to do some kind of effect, this would likely be the easiest way.

It's thread # 215-106491
The title is META Tag - transition
and the author is ighidan

Hopefully, this will help you.

Hi Bvallet,

That was very nice of you to get me to that tip. But I didn't check it with Netscape. It works fine in IE. I want my page to be browser independent. If you have any other suggestion please tell me.

Thanx a mill. you got my vote for it.

I personally hate those backgound effects/page wipes/cicle opening...those transitions are old hat...and just as annoying as pop-up boxes.

Unfortunately, you can't script across domains so you wouldn't be able to transition out of the previous page. About the only thing i can recommend, if the META tags don't work, is that you use javascript to transition into your page in the onLoad event. I've never tried it so I can't give you any specifics, but I imagine the code would be similar to what you already have, maybe just in reverse.

Not that you asked, but I have to agree with Montroze about the use of transitions. However, it is your site.

OnLoad event is fired after the document loads in. Thus it wont work. Am working somethings with META and think would be able to get a tech.

Well, about :-V Montroze's comment -(). That's what is my client's requirement.
