Websites open in circular

[Brendi]

How are Websites that open in a circular pattern done? When you first click on the link, the site starts out from the center of the screen and goes in a circular pattern, biger & bigger 'til the whole page is open. Is there any code to make a page do this? If so, can someone tell me...thanks.

I think that this is an IE-filter. On www.dynamicdrive.com, they have several of these for download (free).

(see "circle in" and "circle out")

Caveat: IE-only. :mad:

So does this mean that it will only open in IE and not the other browsers at all, or that it will just open normally in the non-IE browsers?

Also, does this have to be done in DHTML or can it be done in regular HTML (or is there a difference) :) I NEED A BRAIN....IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN LEND ME ONE?)

The effect you're speaking of is a CSS style essentially. Probably an effect that comes from the ActiveX object in Internet Explorer. Your site will still open fine in other browsers, it just won't show the circular transition effect. And as far as I know, yes. It must be done in JavaScript.

DHTML is just a cover term for JavaScript interacting with the HTML document.

Thanks Toicontien... this helps tremendously!
