Making an image "rise up"

[Bob Bonn]

Upon loading a page, I'd like a narrow image to rise up from the
bottom of the screen, along the left-hand side, and then stop at a
given point. I'd like to be able to choose the rate of ascent
(because too fast would look awful, and too slow would be, well, too
slow). After it reaches its destination, it wouldn't move again.

I assumed there would be a javascript for this. However, I've
searched all my favorite sites, but there doesn't seem to be a script
available that will do it. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish
this? Thanks in advance!

Boy, you can tell that the company that designed that site really
resembles their name, LOL!

Budget Web Design is the perfect name...

its not possible to determine too fast or too slow. it will vary from
person to person. what benefit does the animation have for the
visitor? how does it add value to the site? why is this animation
necessary?

just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

Exactly what don't you like about the website? Do you even understand
Spanish?

I see no animation on that page. I see text, one photo, and at the
bottom, two static banner graphics and a counter.

Is this the same person who complained that the zengarden css site
< http://www.csszengarden.com/ > was, and I quote, "bo-ring?" One
photo, a couple of cheezy graphics at the bottom. Wastes more than
1/3 of the horizontal space. Heading cut off at the top. Need I
mention validation issues? Yes? No char encoding specified. No uri
in the doc-type definition. No type for script element. I could go
on, but you can see for yourself if you're so inclined.

What's that got to do with it?

Look at the CBE library at http://www.cross-browser.com/

It seems complex at first, but it's an initial learning "step", after
which all of the features are really easy to use.

It's about as cross-browser-compatible as you'll get for this sort of
function. I played with it for a bit, but decided it wasn't quite
compatible enough to justify the added complexity. I'm a bit of a
purist, so you may disagree.
