Basic query

[Brian Tozer]

I have put a stationery page that I am working on online at:-
http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~briantoz/stolenkiss/stolenkiss3.html

Although there is a bug that causes it to only display the top half of the
picture, that is not my query.
I want to have a splash page effect which has just a logo and an open button
which when selected enables the existing display with it's animated snake.
Any help at accomplishing this example will be very instructive in creating
similar pages for Stationery use.
I have studied lots of examples of such pages using javascript and vbscript,
and can emulate their methods, but this one has me beat.

Thanks
Brian Tozer

I think the best way to do that is to create a DIV tag with the image
that you want, or whatever HTML code you want to be on the splash.

Use the style attribute to change the visibility to hidden, and use the
positioning style variables to put the splash screen wherever you want.

Put a script in the onLoad attribute of the BODY tag that will make the
DIV visible through javascript, and use SetTimeout to run a script that
will take it away after a given amount of time.

That is the approach I would take. Actual code, I will leave as an
exercise for you
