Re: Make your browser Twirly!!!
This is cool! I especially liked bringing up oatmeal's collection, specifically the page with the current MAF Maxes--none of the Max's are particularly large.

What's even funnier is how the images that are linked are still links, just in motion. Can you click the right one?

Awwww. JavaScript rocks. You can make seriously fun stuff with it! Actually, I'm a javascript junkie because that's what I made my living doing last summer. When you said that, it ripped a piece of my soul out.
It's this... I'm proud of it, so I'll post it. I'm not trying to sell anything... is it okay? http://henry.sandi.net/students/2008/we … index.html

That's got to be the smoothest piece of javascript I've ever seen. My only quibble with it is the slide show goes a bit too fast.
JavaScript definitely has its uses. I personally don't pay much attention to it myself, though, since I'm more of a compiled language guy. And fully compiled at that, since I detest Java. 
(and C# would also fall under that, since it essentially copies Java everywhere possible) I do see that my life on the internet would be very empty without languages such as PHP and JavaScript, though.
Twirlyness bookmarked BTW. It has been deemed worthy to belong on my bookmarks bar.

Re: Make your browser Twirly!!!
try this version
javascript:R=10; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.cos(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.tan(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',50); void(0);

Re: Make your browser Twirly!!!
So, is there a way to make these bookmarklets/javascripts load a webpage first before twirling? Might be a fun April Fools prank to replace someone's bookmarks with these and still load the correct page. :sinister:

Yeah, it's ok. Nifty.

But don't you die a little each time you have to write code like
Code:
if(isIE()) {
...
} else {
...

Re: Make your browser Twirly!!!
Yes, and I die a little each time I have to make separate DIVs with filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src='image.png' sizingMethod='image'); in the CSS in order to make PNGs render correctly in IE. And don't tell me IE7 does PNGs properly now! It renders them all right if they have no opacity... but once you give them an opacity less than full-on 100%, the alpha goes away! Arrrg. Or that if you want to fade a DIV containing absolutely positioned children, the whole thing disappears in IE.
That said, don't YOU die a little each time you see me call "isIE()," which actually checks every time to see if it's IE, instead of just storing a quick boolean on the page load and looking that up? Hahaha
