Hello again! Maybe I'm not that good at C/P ... it won't work...
I've put the " <script> var current_box; function transition_effect(new_box) { $(current_box).fade({duration: 0.2}); $(new_box).appear({duration: 0.2}); current_box = new_box; } </script>" (I assume that's how I'm supposed to do it?!?) just beneath my <body>-tag and have then replaced some of the <a href> on my page and have also changed the content of the onclick="transition_effect('researchthemepositionbox'); Sadly, it's quite dead, I'm afraid ;-( /Heine On Jun 4, 3:07 pm, "Frederick Polgardy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Keep in mind I'm not checking for boundary conditions like the first time > you click a link...
