Vault49
Vault49’s site is a piece of pure art inserted in a HTML+CSS (all in one! with very old inline properties and obsolete maps and fonts tags) page displaying big images spaced out by four text section like the “portfolio”-a big div with links inside opening popups-and the “news”,a div that face to a big problem of the horizontal way:the “dynamic” lenght of the text. IOW, the text which the developer can’t know the height at the creation of the code: it is insterted here in a div with overflow:auto displaying a vertical bar to scroll the content.
i think this is such a creative unique website; the horizontal scroll really highlights the artwork. it’s kinda amazing actually.
amazing site, but with a large enough screen, the horizontal scroll didn’t really come into play that much. in fact, it kind of got in the way. (unless I opened multiple sections at once.) i’m also a fan of mouseover scrolling vs click and drag.
re-reading the description, this site must have been redesigned in flash since it was posted here.
