Open a new window by raising the curtain
Give your pages a taste of theater. Why not open your homepage like a theater curtain? A little DHTML is all it takes to perform
this trick.
Define the style
.intro in the header of your page. Of course you can adapt it using your favorite colours:
<style>
<!--
.intro{
position:absolute;
left:0;
top:0;
layer-background-color:red;
background-color:red;
border:0.1px solid red
}
-->
</style>
Then copy the following script
just after the tag
<BODY> of your page:
<div id="i1" class="intro"></div>
<div id="i2" class="intro"></div>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var speed=20
var temp=new Array()
var temp2=new Array()
if (document.layers){
for (i=1;i<=2;i++){
temp[i]=eval("document.i"+i+".clip")
temp2[i]=eval("document.i"+i)
temp[i].width=window.innerWidth/2
temp[i].height=window.innerHeight
temp2[i].left=(i-1)*temp[i].width
}
}
else if (document.all){
var clipright=document.body.clientWidth/2,clipleft=0
for (i=1;i<=2;i++){
temp[i]=eval("document.all.i"+i+".style")
temp[i].width=document.body.clientWidth/2
temp[i].height=document.body.offsetHeight
temp[i].left=(i-1)*parseInt(temp[i].width)
}
}
function openit(){
window.scrollTo(0,0)
if (document.layers){
temp[1].right-=speed
temp[2].left+=speed
if (temp[2].left>window.innerWidth/2)
clearInterval(stopit)
}
else if (document.all){
clipright-=speed
temp[1].clip="rect(0 "+clipright+" auto 0)"
clipleft+=speed
temp[2].clip="rect(0 auto auto "+clipleft+")"
if (clipright<=0)
clearInterval(stopit)
}
}
function gogo(){
stopit=setInterval("openit()",100)
}
gogo()
</script>
You can modify how fast (
speed) the curtain opens. The higher the value, the faster the page will open.
