h2. What's a "Transition"?
A transition is what happens when you change the time-period on your calendar. For example, clicking the Forward/Backward arrow from the Month view will transition you to a new month.

Most transitions are nothing more than a simple page refresh. You click, the browser window blinks, and a new page appears. *Boring!*

h2. Spice things up!
localendar lets you make things more interesting with custom transition effects as you move between periods. Try them out below! These examples also have some crazy calendar [themes and custom colors|Colors and Backgrounds].

Choose effect to preview: 
<select id="preview_select">
	<option value="effect_slide">Sideways Slide</option>

	<option value="effect_vdrop">Vertical Slide and Fade</option>
	<option value="effect_zoom">Zoom In</option>
	<option value="effect_bright">Bounce Right</option>
	<option value="effect_curtainx">Curtain</option>
	<option value="effect_hdrop">Fading Sideways Sideways Slide</option>
	<option value="effect_hclip">Sideways Clip</option>
</select>

<table border="0" width="100%"><tr><td align="left">

</td></tr></table>
<script>
function loadPreview()
{
	var previewCal=jQuery("#preview_select option:selected").val();
	if (previewCal=="none")
		previewCal="sample";
	jQuery("#preview_display").attr("src","/public/"+previewCal);
	
}

jQuery(document).ready(function()
{
	jQuery("#preview_select").change(loadPreview);
});
</script>
{html}
