    Fade

    Rodieck Community Member
      I'd like to be able to fade out one page when a hotspot is clicked, then fade in on the next page. I've been trying all sorts of things without success, and I'm beginning to think maybe it's just something that can't be done.

      Couple of tests: (In my tests, I have a wrapper div surrounding everything, since I can't put a fade on a body tag. )

      I have a rollover button in the wrapper area with a fade effect attached to onMouseUp. When I click the button, the wrapper area fades. This works just fine.

      On another page, I have an appear effect attached to OnLoad. That page fades in when I link to it. This works just fine.

      But, when I have both a link URL and a fade effect on a rollover button (again, to fade the wrapper), the link to the URL takes place but not the fade. I'd like to attach the fade to OnUnload, but that doesn't seem to be an option. I'd like to rearrange the behaviors so that the fade occurs before the URL, but I can't move it.


      It seems like I can use a button to fade something on a page, or I can use a button to link to a different page, but not both.

      Can anybody help me with a way to do this? Or confirm that it can't be done? Much thanks either way.

          For some reason, the items I'd put as a bulleted list disappeared. So here's another try at the complete message.

            You cannot fade a page into another page (well you can if you are willing to
            a) look cheesy, b) delay page loads inordinately, and c) be sure that
            everyone is using IE, by using the IE page transitions). Spry won't do this
            for you....

              Sigh -- thanks for the bad news. At least now I won't have to waste any more time on it ...
