Celebrating the new year

[alex4orly]

I am looking for placing a temporary "Face" to one of my websites that will show visitors some Gif or such of the Happy New Year message and that it can be either finish by itself or be dismissed by the visitor

Any idea how to achieve that?

Merry Christmas

You can, for example, create a new index page with the animation and redirect the user to the normal index page (renamed to something else) after a timeout via the redirect settings in the Page Properties.
Or you can use a timer to display a temporary layer.

Something like this:
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Exactly,
How do I do this?

Thanks

[Biju]

Just followed Pablos tutorial

1. Insert your image and close button
2. Hide both of them. (Before hiding give an onclick event to close button to hide both image and button itself)
3. Insert two timers (one for showing hidden objects and other for hiding)
4. Timer1
-  Type: Timeout
-  Interval: 5000
-  Tick Autostart
Select Event Tab and add 3 events:
-  Ontimer: Show>Target>Image
-  Ontimer: Show>Target>Button
-  Ontimer: Timer start>Target>Timer2
5.Timer2
-  Type: Timeout
-  Interval: 10000
-  Untick Autostart
Select Event Tab and add 2 events:
-  Ontimer: Hide>Target>Image
-  Ontimer: Hide>Target>Button

Hope this will help you..

Hi Biju, (this is French?)
Any chance you can send me the actual project that your sample is built on?

Not French, it is one of our nick names for gent's (I am from Kerala, south-most part of India)

How can I send the project file to you?

[alex4orly]

Thanks
You upload it as a single project file to your website and provide me a url to the file itself.
I think this should work
Cheers

OK, get it from below link:

   DOWNLOAD

In the RAR files, there are only 2 items
index.html and the GIF file
It seems there are some .css files missing
When I hit F5 to run in locally, nothing comes up

Thanks again

OK, I got it to work on my website, just copied the objects from your project to my front page, but:
My site is based on a Master-Frame and grids, when the Gif shows up, it pushes the grid to make room for itself....
This doesn't look right.
I would like to have another layer maybe, that shows up on top of the front page, show the gif then be closed and dissapear

Any idea how to go abou this?
Thanks

No, the rar files contains the actual project files (hn.wbs and image folder with gif image)
How did you extract rar file?

When I hit F5 to run in locally, nothing comes up

If the file has only html and gif, from where you hit F5?

Hi Biju,

Please read the earlier message, all works fine
I also placed the whole thing on a Layer, which shows up in the center of the screen and fades away...

Thanks again for your help

Cheers

This is by far the best solution:
