Chuckles IE used to support this with something called Inter-Page Transitions [1] - every time I saw it it made me double-take. <META http-equiv="Page-Exit" CONTENT="progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Slide(Duration=2.500,slidestyle='HIDE')" /> That said, I wouldn't go down that road again. Better pre-fetching hints are good and HTML is a good place for a fallback (HTTP 2.0 provides better ways of doing it if you have control of the server), but page transitions are something better left to CSS, to my mind.
