Title: Browser Ball!
Post by: drhowarddrfine on March 19, 2009, 12:06:05 PM
For those who don't know what modern browsers can do, play this in a modern browser (that is, anything but IE).

I have played with that before. I think it was on SkyDrive - something to do while uploading files IIRC.

Test on Mozilla Firefox, nice :thumbu

Paul, you are right. Skydrive displays a bouncing ball while uploading files.

What is skydrive? The online storage service? Since it's Windows Live stuff, you didn't see the same thing because this won't work in IE and the element itself only came out in the last year or so.

Yes, that's right. It's the online storage service. The Browser Ball is a more advanced technique.

The one on SkyDrive works just fine using IE or any other browser.

Do you have a link to it? Like I said, the demo I showed uses <canvas> and SVG, neither work in IE, so obviously Skylink is doing something else.
