The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q265068

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft FrontPage 2000, when you attempt to create a transition effect between pages in a web, the transition does not work as expected in your browser.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when other scripts or DHTML tags are inserted earlier on the web page than the page transition meta tag.

RESOLUTION

To successfully create a page transition effect, do one of the following:
  • Insert the page transition before any other script or DHTML tag is added to the page. - or -

  • Move the page transition meta tag to a higher position in the head section of the HTML document.
In the following example, the page transition does not work as expected: 
   <head>
   <script language="JavaScript" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="animate.js">
   </script>
   <title>Distributed Systems</title>
   <meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=3.0)">
   </head>
However, in this example, the page transition works as expected: 
   <head>
   <meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(Duration=3.0)">
   <script language="JavaScript" fptype="dynamicanimation" src="animate.js">
   </script>
   <title>Distributed Systems</title>
   </head>
