Bizarre!

[Matt1986]

how do they do that?

[sadako]

Works really well on a page with lots of small images, like the mainpage of fark.com, or the b3ta image challenges

[anonymous-user]

By hitting enter it speeds it up and slows it down

[wn3]

Works on Firefox, too.

[drogo]

Works with Mac OSX and Safari as well, spooky.

What's it for?

[ATG]

I'd say it was lifted from a snippet of Javascript that was doing the rounds maybe 5 yrs ago ... it displayed a sort of analogue clock that followed your mouse pointer round the screen in that sort of follow-the-leader sort of way.

Works in Opera/Linux too. And if you play with multipliers to the arguments of the cos and sin functions you can make Lissajou's figures.

Doesn't do anything for me either in IE or FF. What's it supposed to do?

[ferrisbueller]

Ooooh! We like!

Sometimes Pigeon, you scare me. Just a little, but scare all the same

PoD does as well.

It must be an avian thing.

Makes all .gif & .jpg files on a page fly around in the top left of the browser window. It's best to head for an image heavy page before trying it, gassing station doesn't have a lot of piccies for it to work with.

[Frik]

Do not, I repeat, do not attempt to do this with a hangover...

[sadako]

You need to have a page loaded before it will work, it wont work in a new tab. And yes, working in FF, I tend to paste links into new tabs by default now

[Bodo]

Must be clean js. Works in Firefox on Linux too

I recommend this page for trying:

Thats cool

Better?

[David A]

C'mon if you lot were any good you'd have done a whirlpool with the images disappearing into the middle of the page by now.

cos I sure as hell can't

I quite like that
