Totally reminded me of: http://unicodexmas.com/ <- Christmas tree made out of "valid, semantic, and imageless HTML and CSS", ornamented with Unicode characters.
Impressive. I wonder when Firefox will get the transformation support - not that it's very practical for anything right now.
They added support in FF10, so it should make it to their stable release in around two months.
Are you sure? I'm using Nightly 12.0a1, and it is very slow (1-2fps). It's still smooth in Chrome, though.
I love that you can still click on the dropdowns and they work. You can also type in the text entry fields.
I just spent way too much time catching and clicking all the radio buttons...
It was weird to click those elements on an iPhone and see mobile Safari's select dialog appear from the bottom of the screen, ruining the effect. :)
That looks pretty nice on an iPad :)
This was a trap for my iPhone 4 - I couldn't navigate away because it was so graphics intensive. I had to force quit then quickly load another page on startup.
It was fine on my iPhone 4.
Surprisingly, this was usable on my iPhone 3G.
Cool. Christmas trees aren't flat though, you could have made it use the whole space rather than one plane. Merry Christmas.
This tree is just as 3D as the trees in current state-of-the-art first person shooters.
Caused Chrome on my Linux machine to crawl, CPU usage of my dual core CPU is about 100%!!
But its pretty cool as an experiment :)
Really? It ran quite smoothly on my iPhone 4S and my parents' ancient Athlon X2 3800+ (running Windows 7). It took 2-3 seconds to get going, but then it was quite smooth.
CSS Transforms on Chrome on Linux have been giving me problems even though they're fine on Windows or Mac Chrome.
Runs fine on iPhone 3G. Impressive.
more clever working coming from you, hakim. love that the elements are still usable.
I was watching memory usage rapidly climb. Pretty fun though!
That's marvelous. Good work. And Merry Christmas!
Well, that completely destroyed my iPad 1.
That's awesome! Keep up the great work. :D
Awesome. Merry Christmas!
Cool. Merry Christmas.
Freezes my iPhone.
Works fine (I presume slower than on a desktop; but certainly doesn't crash!) on my Galaxy Nexus.
Fine on the iPhone 4S
Crashed the HN app on my iPhone4 too. Not that I'm surprised, it's a pretty heavy page for the phone to load.
Fine on the iPhone 4.
I suspect running the page through a UIWebView as opposed to MobileSafari will introduce the performance issues of application sandboxing.
