The RevealTrans HTML Meta Tag.

[opt_inf_env]

Hello,

any body know what can be a reason of that the following line works

<meta http-equiv="page-exit" content="blendtrans(duration=3)">

and the same line where exit is replaced by enter does not work?

Thank you.

I have no idea, I can't find a standard that defines it anywhere and it
doesn't work in my browser. It must be because...
<meta http-equiv="page-exit" content="blendtrans(duration=3)">

That is a non-standard, proprietary presentational extension that has no
place within an HTML document. It will not work in anything except
Internet Exploder and controls some features that really should be part
of a stylesheet, not HTML markup.

Is there any hope that later it will be supported by Netscape? Why such
non-tandard properties appear? It means that different organisations
introduce different elements and html can start to be developed in
several different directions? Description of the discused property I
found here:

The Internet is not a PowerPoint presentation, nor is it a film, so it
does not need transitions.

There is only one standard, <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/> and that is the
one to follow.

Not much. Non-standard features do sometimes creep into other browsers - but
usually only good ones. The transitions are widely regarded as "annoying".
Why such non-tandard properties appear?
Either as an experiment that precedes or accompanies a proposal for a
standard, or as an effort to gain marketshare by offering something
different.

See the browser wars of the mid-90s. Not fun.

Are you referring to the existing proprietary markup version or a
hypothetical stylesheet version? The markup version will *never* be
supported by other browsers, a stylesheet version would be supported
*if* the CSS working group within the W3C decide that transitions would
be useful and can be implemented in an interoperable fashion; however,
the chances of this happening are slim.
Why such non-standard properties appear?
Browser Wars!

What? You want many different versions of HTML, with each browser
implementing a different one? I assume that also means you want to
develop a seperate page for every different browser and learn many
different constructs for achieving the same result. I guess, you'll
also do browser sniffing to detect IE, Mozilla, Opera, Konquerer,
OmniWeb, KHTML, Safari, Camino, Amaya, Lynx, etc. so that you can
deliver each browser the specially developed page. Oh, wait. You're
probably the kind of person that just couldn't be bothered to create so
many versions and sticks a "View this page with IE or go away" notice
cause you're too lazy to develop for multiple browsers cause there all
different. Gee, wouldn't it be nice if every browser could implement
the same things...

Oh... WAIT!!! *They DO!* http://www.w3.org/

Hard to tell, and especially hard without URLs. It works for me
(on IE 6). But since the question is really not about HTML (although
Microsoft implemented this fancy idea nominally inside HTML tags),
asking in a microsoft. group might work better. With a URL.
You might also check what Microsoft says about this stuff:

Thank you.

Sorry I was late getting here, I see the militants have already had their
say, hope you come back to see this. See below:

That harmless bit of eye candy will only work in IE and AFAICT it won't
cause a fatal error in any browser on any OS so I see no reason why you
shouldn't have some fun with it.
Good Luck,
me

Out of posts I read in ciwah and ciwas it seems like "me" is opting for
the equivalence of C-NET's "helper of the week".

cnet eventually did put a stop to the trickle down of their "helpers"
posts to the Big-8 hierarchy but once in a while 'volunteer helpers'
like "me" will still try to get back in business to spam Usenet.

With all that authoring time at hand, he makes me wonder what's behind
the scene.

You poor thing! You can easily disable these annoyances in the Internet
