Ha Do That in HTML5

You can do that in HTML5. You could use CSS3 with animated gifs/pngs --- or go straight to the canvas. Either way would get it done. I'd vote for using canvas.

I'll leave it to someone else to implement. I've got real applications to build today...

That is the ugliest button I've ever seen on the internet.

And I'm glad HTML5 may give me a hard time if I ever attempt to make one.

Well, that shouldn't be very hard to reproduce: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/360937/do-that-in-html5-fail.png

I take it this means you weren't around for The Dark Ages? The time when animated GIFs ran amuck, standards were wept for acceptance, and the kingdom of Geocities was strong?

Is this from Adobe, or does someone really care that much?

No, I don't believe I will. I'd rather my users know the button is a button, and will behave like they expect, all without taking up 50% of my CPU...

(Aside: I went back to the page to double-check CPU usage, and the button wasn't working this time. Yup, behold the awesome power of flash!)

I don't think the author knows much about html5 or the concept of canvas in general.

If he goes to http://www.chromeexperiments.com/, he'll realize that all this is doable.
