Using Special Effects When Web Pages Change

[fleetwoodmac]

Have you ever been to those sites where you navigate through their site and it uses special effect to bring you to the page you clicked on? For example, you click on a link, and then a circle cut-out eats up the current page and takes you to the new page. I have always wondered how they do something like that. So that's why I'm posting here to figure out how I could do something like that. I have searched numerous tutorials and haven't found anything.

Thank you! :):D

Flash (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flashpro/)

That's the only way to accomplish what you describe.

You are probably looking for Meta Transitions.
They are not standard HTML.

You can also use Javascript

Interesting.. never heard of page transitions.. but if they are IE only no wonder. Why even bother?

Anyway.. thanks degs!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I do have Macromedia Suite 8. So I do have all of the tools (Flash, Fireworks, Dreamweaver).

After posting this I, found a template that used a Splash page and had a special transission from the splash page to the main page. So I scanned the source and discovered that it was a META transission.
