Fade Transition in IFrame

[eyalkattan]

Hello,

I am relatively new to this forum and tried to search for this topic or similar but couldn't find anything. So I apologize in advance if I'm asking a question that is already answered previously.

I have a page with iFrame to which I'm uploading a php page (on the same server) with dynamic content. As a result I needed to resize the iFrame dynamically based on the height of the uploaded page/content.

I use the script below to resize the iFrame and works just fine.

Now I'm trying to add Fade transition effect to the pages that I upload into the iFrame. I added the META tag:

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Page-Enter" CONTENT="blendTrans(Duration=2.4)">

to the php template. Unfortunately the effect doesn't happen. however, if I turn the resize script off, the transition takes place as expected.

I suspect the transition is actually happening, however because I am resizing the iFrame dynamically, the effect is probably not seen because the iFrame gets displayed only after the entire page is loaded.

I am not sure if what I'm trying to do is possible, but I was hoping someone here might have some creative work around.

Thanks,
Eyal

Wow.. did I hit something really complicated?
