Why bother at all with the animation?  It takes a person longer to figure 
out what page they're on.  Or perhaps if all you're doing is just that 
animation, why not an animated gif.  That way people like me who have 
animated gifs disabled can ignore it, and those people who for some reason 
want it on will see the pretty animation.

&amp;, just like you would put anywhere else in the web page.
