Title: Interesting anomaly with web browsers
Post by: jcarter on June 14, 2007, 01:56:05 PM

I am taking a web design class and this classmate is using some code that does page transitions. And I am the only one in the class who is using a Mac. They can all see her pages fade from one to the next, and none of my browers will show this.
Is there anybody here who can see this?

No matter what browser I use, the page just snaps to the next like usual, I cannot see the fade out fade in effect that they all say is really nice.

Heres the code.
They got if from here,
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex3/document2.htm


<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=4.0)">


I cant get it to work in any browser, and I tried to download IE onto my husband's new Mac and it said IE is discontinued for Mac.
Not that I really want it on any of our Macs,,,,,,
If anybody can see this effect on any other browser or figure out how to use it, please let me know.
My Firefox and Opera should work, according to their site, or at least be able to view this neat effect.
Thank you,
Jane

Didn't work in either Safari or Firefox for me either, Jane.

It's a Windoze world apparently, when it comes to this particular effect:

* Page Transitions - this is IE specific.

Even the page on dynamicdrive where she got the script notes that it's an IE 4.x "exclusive" effect and it would appear that not much has changed with subsequent versions of IE.

Hi Paddy,
Thank you! Its an only IE Windoze thing, so the heck with it.
And IE is not for Mac anymore. And I never wanted it in the first place.
Youve explained it perfectly and I will put the link on the classroom forum.

Bells and whistles.

bells can crack (see Bell, Liberty)

whistles can be parced (see Whistle, wet your)

Windows break (see Station, Space)

I think your classmate needs some lessons in color and design for sure.

Its a different sort of class, no Mac people and I guess a lot too many bells and whistles(from England). But I took the class anyway. I am also taking a DreamWeaver class.

Yes, thats scary about the 3 Russian computers, I wonder what kind they are and what OS they are running.

Good question about the computers; with the Space Shuttle running old 8086 CPU's it's anyone's guess! The good news is it was apparently a power problem (I'd guessed that) and they're working at least mostly now:

Apparently I'm a more than little out of date; the Shuttle seems to have been updated to Pentium III laptops as of 2001:

The other article says the computers in the Russian section are different!

2001, no space travel for me. Maybe we aught to donate our older Macs to NASA.
