Amazing uses of JavaScript

The internet has become a much more colorful and moveable world since the advancement is JavaScript, CSS and other web languages. We are now able to breath new life into website design without using clunky 3rd party plugins. Although some of these effects can not be created for all Internet web browsers, if you know your market and you are confident that your website would still be functional with the effect removed, then why not add some new dimension to your design.

Lets take a look at some outstanding uses of JavaScript (and their other supporting languages).

Apple’s mobile me website is using a combination of canvas tag and thousands of lines of JS to acheive its outstanding interface effects.

Amazing. Simply amazing combination of JavaScript and CSS. You have to hand it to dragoninteractive, they really know how to turn heads with their experiments.

Seriously cool setup. Page scrolling, interactive everything and all with JavaScript.
Just navigating around this website is a great user experience. This to me breaks the ‘flat page’ feel that a website can have.

The cloud moving background that gives this website its dimension is using a JavaScript background positioning system. Scroll down to the footer and you will see the same thing with a nice city horizon. It give the website a great visual experince.

Not only is this website pretty, the page curl in the top right is a neat JavaScript effect.

Fuel’s website shows a great use of color transitions and movement. It’s simple design and clean navigation lets your eyes be filled with the smooth transitions, resulting is a very professional experience.

While the effects are not very “fancy”, they are elegant transitions and fades that all use JavaScript and CSS to deliver a very nice website that has class.
