COOL but pointless IE trick!!

It works on Firefox too.

And I never understood the idea moaning about re-posts - if everyone has seen it already then the thread would die pretty quickly leaving just the new stuff but if you reply then you are just bumping it

Double/triple click really quickly on the code?

or just copy and paste this

javascript:R=0; 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.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',50); void(0);
 
First (and probably last) time I've ever said this, but I agree with Biohazard.

It's not so much the fact half the Internet has already seen it (a month or so back when it was originally conceived it was a front-page story on Digg.com, since then it has been posted on here at least four times), it's the way the OP posted it. He doesn't cite a source, he just gives us the code and instructs us on what to do, leading those who haven't already seen it to assume that he had some part in creating the code – leaving himself open to praise is something which I certainly don't agree with given the circumstances.

Then there's the title of the thread. Superfluous capitalised letters, overuse of exclamation marks and the claim that it is an "IE trick" – as someone else has already mentioned, it works in other browsers. It's not really a "trick," either, it's just a piece of Javascript which, when executed, affects objects on a page.

eh? what are you talking about?

if the OP had searched for the word "javascript" in GD before posting this thread, then he would have easily found that this had already been posted here several times before.

That was his point, people like me would search for " cool explorer trick" or something. I wouldn't even have known it was javascript!

the fact that if he couldnt find it he may not be that smart with coding etc, and may not know that it is called javascript?

are you saying you would search for "cool explorer trick" (or whatever) if you were posting the thread, or if you were looking for the trick?

because if it is the latter (and you were just looking for the trick) then unlucky. we can't just keep reposting threads incase "someone" missed them.

and otherwise (if you were the thread starter) then "javascript" is the first word in that line of code... it isn't rocket science...
 
Argh i hate geeks, i really do, they have to be so technical and they always have to be right and then explain it in a massive forum post.

The OP posted it for a bit of fun, why on earth get so worked up over it if it's a repost LOL! Who cares if he didn't post every single details.

no im saying if hed briefly seen it before. and couldnt exactly what is was, he might not think of putting in "javascript"

so that makes numerous reposts ok then?

are you lecturing me? i really cant be bothered to argue. i bet youve posted something which has been posted before. get over it.
 
I wish people would calm down about reposts. Just let it go! There are always people who havn't seen these things before, and may not frequent the forum as much as others. Hence why things get reposted. :)

Theres nothing worse than reading an opening post only for the first reply to be "oh repost! Use the search button in future :rolleyes: " etc.

I find it really rude, and I bet it puts people off from creating threads. I know it puts me off anyway.
