This rocks. So many Javascript demos that we see here are just rehashes of things we all did as demos back in the days of Netscape Navigator. This actually does something you couldn't have pulled off a few years back.

Well done.

Actually, you could do this with Netscape Navigator, sorry to burst your bubble.

It's just images in a row scaled to different sizes. The effect is amazing, but the idea is simple.

Well, to get pedantic, I think the original Navigator fizzled out before CSS was truly supported. Not sure you could do it without it.

You don't need CSS to do this, just positioned images (which you can do with layers, or even with a blank image above the main one).

seriously...hard to believe that 12 years ago I thought my MIDI jukebox was as cool as javascript was going to get :)
