These transitions smoothen the exit and entrance of a page, making your stay on a page a pleasant one. A simple META tag can achieve this effect. (If you don't know what META tags are, don't worry. I don’t know exactly what they are either, but if I ever find out, you'll be the first one to know!) Now, here's the code:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Site-Enter" content="revealTrans(Duration=4.0,Transition=12)">

The above line of code will give you the effect of the page appearing pixel by pixel (when entering it). You can also specify a transition when exiting the page. But more of that in detailed overview:

Site-Enter means that the transition is triggered when someone enters the page. Site-Exit triggers the transition when someone exits the page

Duration=4.0 represents the duration of the transition (in seconds). Placing 31536000.0 would make the transition to be 1 year long - obviously you won't want to make your visitor wait that long :-)

Transition=12 tells IE which transition to use. There is a choice of 23, you'll get to know them later.

There we go, you finally know how that code works! Now it would really be appropriate to know which transitions to use for your page...
