So I was on styleboost just... well 5 min ago and this is the site up on top,
http://www.scottschiller.com/
Although it took about a minute and a half to load, and here at work I'm on 5 T1 lines. It was well worth my wait IMO. Takes quite a bit to impress me a lot, but I'd have to say this was pretty darn impressive. A little buggy but brilliant none the less. No flash needed.
pretty impressive to be entirely done without any flash.
took me 5 secs to load, u must have sum kinda problem there mini! i didnt really like it, kinda plain.
Your next challenge is to make a site without using a keyboard or pointing device. :)
I like the changing font size button at the bottom. Pretty sweet.
it took like 4 seconds to load :to: nice site too
BB Forum's comments - might want to read the histeria Scott (http://www.billybussey.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=11223&page=1)
;) They liked it when I posted it a while back.
It's javascript and dhtml - and very good use of them! take a look at the source ;)
If it isn't FLASH, what it is, then???

What kind of language did the author used??
Im impressed.
you did a fine job thus far tho. Had me fooled for a second. I can do simple stuff with js/dhtml but you took it extreme. gj.
Word down in Yugoslavia-Town is that he types with is Adam’s Apple instead of with his hands.
That just makes him more impressive.
kul site...superb panoramic image viewer...a lot of work...but i think the motivation isn't just design..i believe it's kind of a manifest or smth...i saw a site once made entirely in PowerPoint (i'll check the bookmarks maybe i'll fin the link ... :( ) and it looked nice...but a lot of hard work for no reason but the fight against macromedia...
Seriously --> what the crap!
What is the world coming to anyways?
kick ***... loading was 4 seconds here... :) FireFox :+)
AWesome site... This source, I need to take a look.. :) Echo $MyThoughts;::
Well, that was helpful, now we need to look at what an RSS feed is. After a long draining search, and finding nothing but flash only media players,

Like Gez, I started off as a Flash developer and came very late to the standards community .. there is no need to serve application/xhtml+xml to Mozilla.

wow, thats amazing.
oh ok, I don't remember where I got it, maybe a css site...
very impressive, I posted this in the irc room a week or so ago, is that where you got the link?
and people who don't like it: he's trying to show off his mad dhtml skills, I know this can all be done with flash but it's not nearly as hard, with dhtml he both has to get all browser compaitibility and show off so he gets a job :P
I need flash.

That site probably took months to make and still it wasn't at all much to look at. The language was probably JS/DHTML.
Eitherway, good find though :).
never knew you could do something link that without flash, im still amazed.
finally a cool site that doesnt take an hour to load on my crappy dialup!
Your next challenge is to make a site without using a keyboard or pointing device. :)
im on it! :hr:
I like the changing font size button at the bottom. Pretty sweet.
Funnily enough, that's one of the easier parts of a site like that to do ;)
How could you not be impressed? Thats scripting, no flash at all, no plugins at all.I think it is scripting. Chihuahua Word Puzzle - About the Site::

good stuff, but you can "pry the flash from my cold dead hands", I could never script that much, that good...Impressive
i wasn't all that impressed..
It's cool that he put all that effort in to make it without flash, but he could have saved some time just making it in flash.
None the less. Nice work.
I'm using firefox and I didn't notice any mistakes, of course I didn't try ie so I have no comparison...
That site was ok.
i wasn't all that impressed..

The site is a "proof of concept" experiment in Javascript - the idea being getting "Flash, without Flash" (ie. the animation effects.)
The motivation was to prove that smooth animation effects can be done via Javascript; altough it is definitely not an easy task, the challenge was part of the fun. My original post (http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showpost.php?p=578154&postcount=17) on this basically explains it. ;)
Thanks again for the kind words.
Yeeee!
The point was the challenge - emulating "Flash without Flash", ie. the animation effects. It's all Object-Oriented javascript, there are objects for Windows, Events, Actions and an Event Queue.
The script has been written so that something like this will animate a window:
with (addAction(someWindowObject)) {
method = maximize;
sound = 'maximize';
onComplete = doSomethingElse;
enqueue();
}
queue.fire(); // start animation
Window objects have other methods such as moveTo(), resizeTo(), restore(), etc. The animation library creates tweens (much like Flash), all you have to do is provide the coordinates "to" in the case of moveTo() and resizeTo(). Other methods such as maximize() are handled "automagically".
The site was developed and has been tested under Mozilla, Safari 1.2 and ie 5.0+:win32 - the site initially will animate in under ie:mac, Safari 1.0-1.1, Opera (7 I think) etc. but will render unstyled content if any links are followed as those browsers don't support the XMLHTTP object (as described on the site.)
Admittedly there are some resize-related bugs - the work isn't complete, but it had been sitting on my hard drive for a while. The theory was if I put it live, I'd get more motivation to finish the rest. ;)
I haven't built out the "content framework" to provide templated fully qualified URLs to older browsers and those not supporting XMLHTTP yet - but it's in the works.
I should mention the site may be a bit laggy due to traffic/routing problems, but the initial site code (~60 KB), images and sound effects (~55KB) etc. is around 190 KB in total.
Thanks for the comments.

Super duper buggy. half of the stuff would not work. And if you make your screen small most parts are not visible. Nice colors and concept. BUt I am afraid its lost in the buginess. I would imagine that very few browsers can see this stuff.
/jumps out of lerkness
WHOA....
/jumps back into lerkness
nice one for a non-flash page
but some things are displayed wrong in firefox :(
Amazing Site!
very nice..
Whoooaaaagh!!! u guys know how hard that is to do ! RES)PEK to Scott. a few bugs on Mozilla but dudes got some DHTML skillz
good work by the guy. It loaded like a normal site on my system. I can tell u we dont have the best of connections. Great work
yep... I know
great website and nice use of static!
loaded in less than 8 seconds here
thanks simp!
Well it's mosts js/dhtml...what did you expect?
LoL, word got around quick that his site was posted here :)
Also, when I got home and checked the site again it loaded in about 5 seconds, must have been the funky networking or traffic.
Still yet, beautiful for an HTML site
@bombing
No, I got the site from Styleboost.
Man I was. That was great. Thanks for sharing.
Duuudddee, that's alotta work for what it is really. I think using flash would be ample for the site, and I think maybe it would be compatible with the same amount if not more browsers.
Impressive design anyway! ;)
