#4367 - Animated overlay opening

Title Animated overlay opening
Status Open
Handling member Deleted
Addon core
Description Ability to add a JS behaviors to an <a> tag that opens an overlay, to indicate that the <a> tag should appear to visually morph into the overlay.

This would be cool for making animated "single-page"-like websites, where there's no home page per se but rather a "parent" page underneath any page opened.

The text of the button would become the header of the page in the overlay.

This would obviously be rather complex to do, but I think it'd be a really cool feature.

In terms of implementation, I think an iframe would clone the <a> tag's look (you can write into a new iframe without it having to point anywhere yet). That iframe would be given the same position as the element cloned, but an absolute position (i.e. overlaid on top). It would grow/move and change styles to whatever were the normal overlay styles.
