Is there a way to mimic the native transition and functionality of "sliding entire pages" like you see on the iPhone but inside a web browser instead?
I want one HTML page to slide over and a new HTML page to take it's place after the press of a button.
The button cannot be constant. So like if you were to have a constant header with buttons that slid content inside a box then that would be incorrect. I need to slide the entire webpage.
Would slides made in HTML5 be what I need? Thank you in advance for any help!
Edit: I have also been thinking about possibly setting up two full-sized DIV's side by side with one hidden off the page with "overflow:hidden" and then using CSS transitions to hit a button and then move one DIV off the screen and the other one into view, but I have no idea how to do that.
The other really hard part about this is that my DIV containers need to be dynamic and 100% width and height. I can't used fixed dimensions.
EDIT:
Using the scrollTo and localscroll functions developed by Ariel Flesler I have been able to complete 99% of what I am looking for. However, at the very end of development, I hit a huge road block. Here is an image that I hope helps explain what I am trying to do:
My problem is that the main content area is a fixed position with an overflow-y auto so that I can keep the scrollbar for the DIV inbetween the header and the footer. But the problem is that when I initiate the sliding animation of my DIV by hitting my button, the fixed content area does not move and only the header and footers move. If I change the positioning of the main content area to "relative" everything moves like I want it to, but I lose the positioning of the scroll.
If someone could figure this out I will be greatly indebted to you!
(I would post a link to what I have, but I can't. It's confidential work for a company)
Thank you in advance!!
EDIT I am working on reviewing all this information. I will respond in a couple days. Thank you all for you input!

I am currently developing something that may be useful to you. It uses the side by side divs you considered but I found difficulties in using 100% width due to issues with the scrollbars and differences in the browsers. I have overcome this by setting the widths in javascript (jQuery) which offers a cross-browser solution (tested in IE7, IE8, FF, Chrome, Safari, Opera).
Feel free to take as much of the source code as you like by inspecting the source and if you need me to talk you through anything, just let me know.

You can do that by placing elements side by side inside a container with overflow:hidden, and just move the inner elements.
Here is a proof of concept. It doesn't handle resizing of the page after it has loaded, but it at least shows the principle. I have put three slides in the container, but the code is dynamic so that you can place any number you like.
