Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see the HTML5. Looks like it is the Jquery Javascript library, there isn't anything HTML5 about it that I can see. It works the same for me in IE8 (which does not do HTML5) as it does in Chrome. How does that make it a good HTML5 case study? Bob > -Origina

Just from a quick look... performance is erratic (either stuttering or smooth), things move all the time without notice (dragging the bar is painful), dragging will randomly select HTML elements. FF 3.6.3. Most of the text is based off images, as is the company logo (why no SVG?). Performance in
