This only works in IE, for now, and there's no content (only randomly generated words). But it's neat. Just wanted to show it off.

NIIIICE!

I love it Slimer.

I kept thinking while I was dragging the nav box around that it would be cool if it "zoomed" what you saw inside the box when it ran over a lick etc. I know, a bitch, since it would involve another layer and clipping rectangle....but, it would be cool...heh.

It's a sweet one though man..love it.

WOW, that little thing is sooo cool! BTW Zooming would definitively improve the motion feel...

That looks real cool Slime. You should try to figure out a better way to implement it into your website.

Yay, everyone likes it! I'll have to make this work in other browsers... but... see my post in the "all browsers suck" forum...

I did intend to make the thing move towards the mouse when you click outside of it. You'll also notice that the arrow keys move it. I love the 3D effect, same sort of idea that they used a lot with SNES games.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it zoom; that'd require another layer that's identical but twice the size. I think it's a bit too hard to do. One thing I was thinking I might do, however, is put more than the little box hovering over it. Sort of a little display that shows where on the "map" you are, with lines and things, I dunno, if I do it you'll see. =)

Thanks guys!

Definitely, coolness, love it! I love these little tools, they don't need to really do anything for the most part, just live there and be as cool as cool can be. I'll get to the "all browsers suck" forum in a few minutes, I've been working all weekend making my DHTML pages work in all browsers again, took a bit of heavy thinking first, but now it seems to be pretty straightforward. Really, sweet sweet organic feel to the motion there, this is one of my favorites!

OK, I've added a little bit of stuff to it. Some static-y stuff, and a sort of "screen" over the words, it's hard to explain. Just take another look and tell me if you think it's too distracting, since I plan to actually add text to this.

It should also work in NN, although I haven't tested it completely yet.

Oh, yeah, ignore those. They should be gone now, actually.
