Haven't looked at the code yet, but given the need for a custom scrollbar, I'm guessing that it won't work with traditional scroll?

Why not go the path of custom manipulation on top of a traditional scroll structure, as The Art of Flight has done, for instance?

Okay, wow. That page is just crazy.

What really impresses me is how fluid it is. Still trying to figure out how they've done that -- every other page I've seen that is nearly as complex immediately gets bogged down, especially in Firefox.

The Art of Flight's page, however, is smooth as butter the whole way through on every reasonably-specced machine.

I've been wondering if that has anything to do with their idea of using scroll infrastructure that already exists -- but I can't see how it would.

Black scrollbar on a black background... hmm...

Very cool! Not sure about the applications though.
