Well, it was a neat idea, and it's something I tried anyway (one of these days I'll learn to curb my reckless optimism), so I gave Chris a star for effort. [2thumbsup] Does anybody know when IE7 is due? Or even if it's going to happen at all? JavaStripped "I did *not* escape. They gave me...

That's the kind of solution I was trying to avoid to begin with... otherwise, what's the point in having the pseudo-elements in the first place if I'm just going to have to slap spans around them all anyway? And I'll be losing the effects before modifying the content... there's just too much...

Thanks for the JS-disabled workaround (not to mention all that other stuff); I think this thread has run its course now. Hopefully I can solve my CSS/IE filter issues now... at least I have time to work on them now that the transitions are fixed... [hourglass] JavaStripped "I did *not*...

[cry] Okay, found a problem with this solution. Turns out, you can't make <a> elements do double duty for both href and name properties and still have it blur them properly. Makes sense when I thought about it; the window.focus() is executing before the redirect from the hyperlink, so once you...

Can it be done? I know that an element needs either absolute positioning or a CSS width value specified in order for IE filters to display (or possibly other properties will work; I haven't played with it that much), but neither of these will work effectively for pseudo-elements (first-letter in...

Clarification: That's IE6 I'm using, and that's why I thought it was weird that the new syntax was giving me glitches. I'll just go back to my demo code downloads; I'm probably just missing something silly. Thanks again to chessbot for keeping me from doing something [pc] I would have...

More good gnus! Yes, I'm using IE (I wouldn't even be asking about the transitions in the first place otherwise). The good news is that it works! The timeouts did the trick; I hadn't yet tried it until just now because I was dissecting Microsoft's demo code; turns out that they used much the...

One oddity: When I try to use IE5.5+ syntax: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Iris(irisstyle='CIRCLE', motion='in') instead of '2', or DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Iris(irisstyle='CIRCLE', motion='out') instead of '3', I get completely random transitions (barn door, slide, anything except the iris). Am...

Just got back from Microsoft's website; this page had some neat stuff, especially the bit about scripting sequences of transitions; URL . I downloaded the demo code and I'm going to play with it a bit to see if I can make it do what I want to do. I'll try your suggestion re: timing. Thanks...

[hammer] I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but what about using a pair of double quotes to replace the consecutive single quotes that create the parsing problem? I'll try that now... after I stop by microsoft.com. JavaStripped &quot;I did *not* escape. They gave me a day pass.&quot;

Well, there's good gnus and bad gnus... The good news is that the links actually get to their intended destination pages now with no error messages. Many thanks! The bad news is that the first transition and the intermediate page (the one with all the scripting, ironically) are not being...

I'll try this out; thanks for the quick reply! JavaStripped &quot;I did *not* escape. They gave me a day pass.&quot;

Clarification: The drive path thing was expected; I'm not working through a live path at this point, because I'm still building my Web server physically. It's just the \false at the end that seems weird at this point. JavaStripped &quot;I did *not* escape. They gave me a day pass.&quot;

(drive path to folder containing all demo files)\false As soon as I noticed that, I realized that there must be something weird going on. I was reading my copy of "Inside JavaScript" earlier today and I was wondering about using the document.activeElement property to retrieve the target of the...

[reading] I'm looking for a good book on using behaviors, filters, and transitions in Internet Explorer. The Microsoft website has some nice examples, but I'm always happier with a big, thick hard-copy reference guide. Does anybody know of anything out there? JavaStripped &quot;I did *not*...

Another issue that I'm aware of with this is that on some browsers and platforms (IE/Mac comes to mind), setting the "width" property of anything on the page to more than 95% of page width will generate a horizontal scroll bar regardless of its actual width relative to the page and screen. Just...

Clarifications: I guess I should have referred to the pages described above as pages A, B, and C. They are not the same as the pages 1, 2, and 3 that the hyperlinks go to. The intended effect is for the link on the first page to trigger a transition (iris-open, in this case) to the second...

Page 1 is just a basic link-test page. The links are intended to go to pages titled Page1.html, Page2.html, and Page3.html, all of which are identical and consist solely of a <h1> header and a simple <p> paragraph of meaningless text. <html> <head> <title>Untitled</title> <meta...

Okay, now the first transition works... but it isn't going to the transition page (the one with the black body background-color); I'm getting a standard "Page not found" error, not even my custom one. I'll play with it a bit more; this should be something simple that I've missed. Thanx for all...

However, while the window-focus thing works fine, I'm having trouble getting this to work. When I activate the link, I get a syntax error in the red-hilited line in your code above (specifically, in the "window.location" object reference); I have triple-checked my filenames and have no problems...
