    Rotating Feature Boxes with jQuery & CSS3

    Rotating Feature Boxes with jQuery & CSS3

    The full effect of it (with transition animations) will work in newish WebKit and Opera browsers and Firefox 4 above. Any other browser will rotate the blocks without transition animation.

    All the animation is CSS3 transitions. JavaScript only watches for the clicks and applies and removes classes as needed. Why not use JavaScript for the animations as well and get wider browser support? CSS3 is far better suited for this. The animations are better (hardware accelerated). It doesn’t slow down other JavaScript. It is also easier to write keeping the animations in CSS. With JavaScript we aren’t able to animate to classes* easily.

    Build a jQuery parallax scrolling website interface

    Parallax scrolling website interfaces have been popping up all over the place recently. I didn’t want to miss out on the fun, so I have put together a parallax scrolling demo built using jQuery and CSS. Parallax scrolling is a 2d animation process that creates an illusion of depth by animating foreground layers faster than background layers. When you observe the landscape from a moving car, objects closer to the car appear to pass you faster than scenery further away. Parallax scrolling uses the same principle to trick the viewer into thinking they are observing a 3d scene.
