I like the way egographes uses CSS and javascript. This site design is excellent. Really a good work !

The egographies site is a bit of a puzzler for me. I seem to be missing something here, you can hide or show a header, the content or the navigation. It's nice to see the experiment but is there really any point to it?

It makes the http://webreakstuff.com/blog/2005/06/ajax-wont-cook-you-breakfast/ article on webreakstuff seem even more relevant than it was when I read it recently.

It's a cookie based feature and that gives it relevance.
Also, it's simply a personal site and, as with Inman and TheManinBlue and others, I think it's good that people go to the trouble of extending good design with examples of what can be achieved using unobtrusive JS.
I think the article by WeBreakThings has some relevance, but also reeks of being a sanctimonious lecture.

I know, it's nice to see sites pushing the limits of course. I've quite enjoyed reading webreakstuff lately, it's quite refreshing to read it but I do agree that sometimes it is a bit ott .

The Javascript Revolution is timely reading.

Note: This site has been updated yet again. No Ajax in site.

I hate to ruin the fun but plastikfantastik is a complete ripoff of iamkoa's site which has been around much longer. I just dont like it when people steal other peoples work and call it there own.

Hi Wakestrap
They are indeed similar..
What did Plastikfantastik say when you contacted them about the similarity?
