HTML's META-tag

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)">

Transition Name Number Transition Name Number

Box In 0 Random Dissolve 12

Box Out 1 Split Vertical In 13

Circle In 2 Split Vertical Out 14

Circle Out 3 Split Horizontal In 15

Wipe UP 4 Split Horizontal Out 16

Wipe Down 5 Strips Left Down 17

Wipe Right 6 Strips Left Up 18

Wipe Left 7 Strips Right Down 19

Vertical Blinds 8 Strips Right Up 20

Horizontal Blinds 9 Random Bar Horizontal 21

Checkerboard Across 10 Random Bar Vertical 22

Checkerboard Down 11 Random 23

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.
