You may have seen examples of positioned element scripting at sites around the Web. For example some pages have subject headers fly into place even bounce around until they settle into position. Or elements can go in circles or spirals to get your attention or distract you as the case may be . The authors of those tricks apply formulas from other disciplines such as games programming to the style object properties of a positioned element. Chapter 31 PositionedObjects 899 Sometimes the effects are there just for the sake of looking at first anyway cool or because the page author knows how to script those effects. Your chief guide in implementing such features however should be whether the scripting genuinely adds value to the content offering. If you don t improve the content by adding a flying doo-dad or pulsating images then leave them out. A greater challenge is finding meaningful ways to apply positioning techniques. Done the right way and for the right reason they can significantly enhance the visitor s enjoyment of your application.
