T'would appear the site is broken. Too many people gone for a visit?
Just a couple of points -
This site is dependent on DHTML and requires version 4 browsers.
There was a bit of sarcasm in my "too kewl" subject line. The site is very
interesting to look at to see some of the eye candy that you can accomplish
with DHTML, but the site suffers from really awful navigation and user
interface. If you do have the patience to poke around, make sure you look at
the page called "experiments".
Another site that I find quite intersting for its use of DHTML is
http://www.mconnors.com/promosite/testing/blueline/framesetn.html
This page uses the metaphor of a computer screen being a small window that
over looks the web page that's on your desktop. It gives you a little
"motorized" remote control to direct the window to scan the window in all the
major compass directions. There is a speed control on the remote control as
well. If you do visit, make sure you check out the animation of the Edward
Muybridge(sp?) photos of the horse in motion. If you click on the little movie
camera icon, it will set the speed of the scoll to give the perfect horse
running flip cell animation.
Most of these types of pages are not ready for prime time yet, too many bugs
and glitches.
But I love to see what they're up to.
Rolf
