IE6 effect in HTML5
- mayank 16y agoI'm running on Ubuntu with a side-by-side MacOS X in a VM, and I couldn't help think "aahh...shit". Some habits die hard.
- StavrosK 16y agoI'm glad I'm not the only one. I was worried for a minute, and then I thought "wait, I'm on Ubuntu. How did IE crash?"
- barnaby 16y agoUpvote! I had the same moment of panic, like: "aaaahhhhh shiii...wait a second. LOL"
- maushu 16y agoSame, but on Windows with Chrome. For a second there I thought the ie-view extension (for web development) had crashed, until I remembered that I don't have that extension installed here.
- adorton 16y agoThis is the culmination of HTML5 technology. It doesn't get any better than this.
- jayliew 16y agoWalked through and explained the code step by step: http://times.jayliew.com/2010/10/07/ie6-effect-how-it-works/ http://times.jayliew.com/2010/10/07/ie6-effect-how-it-works/ p.s. I know there's a lot of expert js hackers on HN far better than I am, this is just more for a beginner audience
- points 16y agoNot realistic. The box moves smoothly and as fast as you move the mouse. Add some random pauses and glitches ;)
- binspace 16y agoGah, that is stressful.
- lenart 16y agoROFL! Great job! This is something we should keep in favourites and show to our grandchildren. My favourite HTML 5 site so far :)
- some1else 16y agoI can have fun with this for hours. Addictive X-D
- recoiledsnake 16y agoThat's not a IE6 effect, that's a Win 95 to Win XP effect.
- emilsedgh 16y agoIs it just me or everyone likes filling whole page with this thing? I always loved doing so.
- dasil003 16y agook go do http://vimeo.com/7166047 http://vimeo.com/7166047
- Cushman 16y agoIn Chrome on OS X at least the cursor sometimes doesn't appear immediately when you leave the screen. Now that caused a little oh-shit moment. How did it get out of the box?
- thedjpetersen 16y agoMr.doob is amazing, everything he turns out leaves me a little wow-ed
- lurchpop 16y agoperforms insanely well on FF. even after doing it for like 60 seconds the performance never degrades.
- pilif 16y agoI wouldn't expect it to degrade. This is using canvas - it's not creating a new copy of the image every time, but just painting that one image to the canvas. The resource consumption is constant over time, so performance really shouldn't degrade.
- burke 16y agoAhh, nostalgia.
- X-Istence 16y agoWow, that had me worried for a second ...
- cmelbye 16y agoAhh, not so good memories. I remember trying to make some sort of picture or pattern with the windows before the screen cleared in a few seconds.
- RoboTeddy 16y agoif you bounce them across the screen from the top left it's just like after you win a game in windows solitaire
- jadedoto 16y agojust for fun i went there on my ipad and it also supports multitouch... mmm, a dozen of these suckers... so relaxing, reminds me of a simpler day...
- meatsock 16y agomore websites should re-contextualize computer misbehavior. it briefly worked in the human domain for gg allin.
- MarkSweep 16y agoThis almost makes me miss not having a composited desktop.
- erikstarck 16y agoThat's just mean. And very, very funny.
