Try resizing your browser, or trying it in a mobile device.

Nicely done. It renders beautifully on my Android. Smooth animation to boot, and it's not even version 1.

Maybe there's something wrong with my setup, but their 2nd example flashed on/off very quickly about 15 times, really quite a disturbing bug. Anyone else get that?

edit: others who confirm are using chrome, I'm using chrome on mac so it looks like latest chrome on all platforms are affected.

Confirmed, Chrome on Windows 7.

No issues in FF 3.6.13 on Win7, or in IE 9.0.7930.16406 (beta).

In Chome 8.0.552.237 (also Win7) I got nothing on loading, but it did do the flashing thing five times on page three. Haven't been able to replicate it since on any page, though.

Great find. But, I have seen Google doing similar thing using HTML5 entirely. I wonder what would be the difference between this and HTML5.

"HTML5 entirely" doesn't really mean much, for example my website uses mostly HTML 4.01, but is HTML5 as well (since it's mostly backwards compatible).

eg. If you're using tags then you're using HTML5.
