The allies have taken control of an Axis Sub Base. An Axis task force has been sent back to this base to steal their own Enigma Decoder machine from the Allies.
So you have seen this cool fade effect on a site and you decided to incorporate it in a PHP-Nuke block on your site too? I mean that effect that makes the image
fade gradually away, when you pass over it with the mouse cursor - and comes again gradually back the next time you revisit it with the mouse cursor. Before you plunge into this, consider that it is
just an effect - and one that will work only with Internet Explorer. If you still feel you must have it, here is the PHP-Nuke block that demonstrates this fade
effect:
<?php
if (eregi("block-Fade.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

This is an adaptation of the Dynamic Highlight II Script, by J Mark Birenbaum, that just appends the
Javascript code in the $content variable of a PHP-Nuke block. You can adjust some parameters, such as the transparency level, the time between trasparency changes and
amount of change each time - see the comments in the script's code. You should of course at least adapt the image source file (images/xxx.png in the code) to your situation.
