Page Fade?

Is there a way to make fades between web pages using DHTML, so when you click on a link it quickly fades to white, then fades to the page you're trying to go to? Preferrably non-resource-intensive :)

there is, but its IE only.

you might be able to hack something in javascript, but thats would be a ★■◆● to maintain, and probably slow.

You might wanna try http://www.dynamicdrive.com

But, be forewarned, this effect is considered a flagrant foul. If you are using it 'just because you can', then don't. It should only be used in certain situations... and I have never encountered an appropriate application of the effect.

The effect takes a considerable amount of CPU. But that's only noticeable on older machines. And, it's a PITA when moving forward or backward through the browser's history.

<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=1.0)">
<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(Duration=1.0)">

IE only solutions aren't really good solutions.

Don't listen to these posers. Write the code for the "one browser to rule them all" :P.

Shoot man! Not only that, you should make your site work with lynx! I'm so sick and tired of these people putting things such as images and frames in their sites so that only a few handfull of browsers can make use of them. What about all of us console users?

Xamindar: I wrote a CSS-laden, table-heavy calendar in PHP for a project I was working on. After making sure it rendered perfectly in IE and Mozilla, I tested it in Lynx. It worked flawlessly.

Don't say it can't be done, or that it's useless. If it's readable in Lynx, 99% chance it's more readable in IE and Mozilla.

if you stick closely with the spirit of the W3C standards, they'll be readable in lynx.
