Preserved Topic: ripples (Page 1 of 1)

Does anyone know of any script, method, tutorial, whatever that could help me create a rippled water effect?
I want it to go over my text window div so when people click on a link for information, the text seems to ripple in.

Any Ideas would be appreciated

That would be cool.
Is it javascript, or just java?
I don't know if there's a different way to implement them into webpages or what?

afaik, max has such an applet on his page.

...wait a moment... *searching*

Yes, Java is definitely the way to go for that effect.

those are both cool. Is it possible to just make a div do it without a picture in there?

well I got that program from anfy and used it,but I can't change the z-index of the div that has the applet in it. THus it's covering the text. How would I go about putting it under the div where the text comes up.

You can check out what I mean here

Usually you can't do that (put an object more complicated than an image underneath another peice of the web page). You *should* be able to, but nothing really supports it.

Yeah, I tried to include some of these java effects into some pages like what you're asking about but with no luck at all. The best I've seen is what you're doing which is to include a pre-existing image and use it in the applet while surrounding it with dynamic html content and such.

Allgood & Maa did some really nice pages with embedded applets but I can't find them anymore.

Why is it that when I make a transparent picture with 0 opacity it still doesn't show the text underneath. I mean there's nothing there to hide it. How is that possible?

is there a way I can open these class files and edit them?

If you're referring to the picture in the java applet then that is exactly what I was talking about. I don't know of anyone who has gotten applets to behave like a div or layer normally does on a web page. I don't think it's possible.

As far as editing the applet, I'm sure InI can give you more advice. It involves getting a java sdk on your machine. I haven't done much with java applets myself so I can't tell you the details of that.

Hey max, are you giving out your class file by chance?

...although the program from anfy is cool I don't realy want to download it again. I had it once before and for some reason I never got it to work right.

Ensabanur, JAVA applets cannot be made transparent. Also, you can't place anything above them (or control their visibility with z-index). That's limitation of all web browsers and that's how it's supposed to work.

Dark, I didn't write that JAVA applet. I found it somewhere on the internet a long time ago. I guess that you can use it, just download that class file a play with configuration...

That's too bad. It would have been so much easier if it would jsut work the way I wanted it. Life would be easier that way too.

Oh well, I'll have to work on something else

Ensabanur:

You may want to contact Sash about the Anfy applet. He has used it before. That is where I found it is from one of Sash's clients sites. Go here: http://www.miaen.com/

and then click on the "SKIN CARE COLLECTION" button to see what Sash did with it.
