    The RevealTrans HTML Meta Tag.

    Hello,

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

    <meta http-equiv="page-exit" content="blendt rans(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...

    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?[/color]

          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.

            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:
              Learn with interactive lessons and technical documentation, earn professional development hours and certifications, and connect with the community.

                  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.
