TRANSITIONS

Page Transitions in Internet Explorer 4

Page Transitions are based Internet Explorer 4 has a number of functions known as filters (not available in Netscape) called into action by applying "META" tags in the <HEAD> of the HTML document. Filters

Similar to, or exactly like a Microsoft Power Point presentation, effects such as "wipes" or "fades" can be applied to web pages.

<META http-equiv="Page-Exit"
CONTENT="RevealTrans(Duration=2.500,Transition=6)">

There are four properties involved in implementing these filters as show in the HTML above:

Page-Enter: This variable controls the transition as the page loads and the way the content is revealed.

Duration: This variable controls the time (in seconds) that the transition should endure.

Transition: This variable specifies the transition to be used.

Page-Exit: This variable controls the way that the con- tent is wiped ftom the screen before the next page is loaded. It makes use of the same variables as Page-Enter.
