Leaving aside the the world vs IE storm that Paydirt kicked up, does anyone know if there's a toolkit/library for creating something like their animated demo on the homepage?
There's a thread on StackOverflow, anyone else have any clues. I'm not that keen to dig into canvas.
The magnifier was built for us by the super talented @taybenlor. You should tweet him to tell him you like it :)
That SO post is pretty thorough!
Yep, it's a canvas element with rounded corners moving around on top of a fairly stock-standard slideshow. It uses a css transform to scale and this stackblur library (http://www.quasimondo.com/StackBlurForCanvas/StackBlurDemo.h...) to make it look like it lifts as it moves from place to place.
