    That is so awesome, I will make time in my day to do this!

  • Leigh Kaszick

    Great to see lots of raw JavaScript tutes being released upon the world :D

    You should’ve probably posted a demo.

  • http://www.devwords.com Ben

    You should show demos on Tuts+ tutorials.

      It’s a bit difficult to do so – when the code can easily be copied.

      • Colin

        Yeah, and I think you get the idea by reading what’s there.

      • Yheng

        I agree with Jeff, that is why I go for a 1 year subscription for tutsplus!

        Hey Jeff do you have any plans on making another tutorial about wordpress theme like applying jQuery animation and mootools? I always watch your tutorial over and over again and it’s a big help for us designers.

      • Marcio Toledo

        A small video with the thing working would be cool.
        Hey, this series of javascript tutorials is just getting better and better! Would love to see more OOP programming.

      • http://net.tutsplus.com Jeffrey Way

        Okay – tomorrow, I’ll record a preview of the finished product. :)

    Those images remind me that I TOTALLY forgot everything I knew about algebra, trigonometry, and calculus!

  • http://www.nouveller.com/ Benjamin Reid

    It’s clever, but i’m really not a fan of the effect, looks a bit dated and tacky.

    • http://ibuildstuff.net Damian Dawber

      It’s besides the point, surely?

      • Matt

        I’m with the OP. It looks tacky.

  • BILL

    demo or its fake

  • AAustin

    Dear God! Does this mean we’re going to have a whole new carousel revolution on the web? I remember a few years back when those flash carousels were everywhere. People used carousels just to have a carousel. Great tut, I just hope it doesn’t cause another -must…. have…. carousel… – epidemic.

    I love math! :D

  • Aaron

    I still do not understand the compulsion to do with javascript what had been done years earlier with flash.

    • http://talosmedia.net/ PandaMaster

      because not everyone has flashplayer.

  • http://www.bidepan.com ricyhua

    nice works ,where is the Demo?

    • http://blazed-designs.com/?ref=ntp Jonathan Yarbor

      Can’t really give a demo since it is Javascript. That gives the goodies away ;)

  • http://blazed-designs.com/?ref=ntp Jonathan Yarbor

    Great Tutorial. I am starting to realize that Javascript can do a lot of the things Flash can. I hate flash and have been in love with javascript. Great tut
