Sliding Content.
Hi There,
I have a site with all the pages looking fine.
I need 1 more page now to set as the index.htm
On the index page I need the company logo to slide in from the right and stay in a fixed position. Then I need "Welcome" to slide in from the left to a certain position, then fade and be replaced with "Enter Site"
Any ideas how I can acheive this.
Thanks for your help.
Steve.

You can probably do this by creating a Flash animation and named objects. File > New... Animation.

I don't know about others but I find the need to click on a Enter Site button quite unnecessary and pointless. I like to be straight into the site.

I agree Miko but this may be a client request and as we know, the client is always right, even when he is totally wrong. ;)
Also, search engines look for content on the home page and use this content to qualify the page for a search. So a simple landing page with a link to enter, while simple and direct, is not really a great idea.
Another option Steve is a page redirect. Towards the top of the forum topic for Xara Web Design chat, is
[tweaks] The tweakset for Web Designer 7 Premium
In this set is one called Redirect. It loads the index page and then after a period of time, which you can change by editing the placeholder text, automatically loads another page.

Re: Sliding Content.
My opinion on landing pages and seo, search engines search the whole site and use the most relevant page in the search results so as far as I am concerned it does not matter what is on the index page as long as the page title is ok, as an example I did a website recently and it has just been online a month or so but for the search term makeup and styling london (quite a competitive term) it is the third website down (not listing though as another site has 6 pages listed; London College of Arts website). And on the index.htm page it has a full width photo, a png logo and 'Enter' and that is all. The site has not had any seo with the exception of submitting it to google, a sitemap and some on page seo and most importantly the keyword in the domain name. The client is very happy and has thousands of hits already.
