To Create Curtain Opening Effect It Takes Only Two Steps:-
- Make a HTML file and define markup and scripting
- Make a CSS file and define styling
Step 1. Make a HTML file and define markup and scripting
We make a HTML file and save it with a name effect.html
<html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="effect_style.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function open_curtain() { $("#curtain1").animate({width:20},1000); $("#curtain2").animate({width:20},1000); } function close_curtain() { $("#curtain1").animate({width:200},1000); $("#curtain2").animate({width:191},1000); } </script> </head> <body> <div id="wrapper"> <div id="effect"> <p>Surprise You Got A Lottery!</p> <img src="images/curtain1.jpg" id="curtain1"> <img src="images/curtain2.jpg" id="curtain2"> </div> <div id="curtain_buttons"> <input type="button" value="OPEN CURTAIN" onclick="open_curtain();"> <input type="button" value="CLOSE CURTAIN" onclick="close_curtain();"> </div> </div> </body> </html>
In this step we create a 'effect' div and insert curtain images and then create two buttons to
open and close the curtains.
In open_curtain() function we animate 1st curtain to left side and 2nd curtain to right side same as the real curtain opening effect.
In close_curtain() function we use just the opposite of previous function we animate 1st curtain to right and 2nd curtain to left.
