on FF and Chrome nightly (and possibly others), click-holding the wheel and dragging is pretty broken or doesn't work at all. it's cool but not very usable, IMO.

Re: JQuery Scroll Path - Scroll a page along a custom path
#22I appreciate the beauty, but you are breaking the web when doing things like this.
Some breakages:
* PageUp and PageDown doesn't work.
* Home and End doesn't work.
* Long-clicking the scrollbar doesn't work A: Should react immediately, not on mouseup.
* Long-clicking the scrollbar doesn't work B: Should rapidfire (like with holding down PageDown).
* Middle-clicking the scroll wheel doesn't bring up the analog-ish scroller floater.
(Using Chrome on Win7)

Inertial scrolling as well (Mac)

Thanks for bringing up these issues, I hadn't even thought of most of them and they should be easy to fix.
About the middle-click scrolling thing, I've disabled it for now since there doesn't seem to be any way to actually make it work with the custom path.
Also, please note that this is a very experimental plugin and should probably never be used on anything else than a personal site or presentation.

#25The demo needs a background with a clearer pattern so you can see the path actually being followed. With just text and the dark background it just seems like a slideshow with transitions.
That's a good point, thanks!
At the moment, the background isn't actually being scrolled at all. If I were to apply a patterned background to the element that gets scrolled around, I'd have to increase its size so that the screen always stays inside of it. I'm also not sure how a background image would affect the performance of the rotations.

#26this has interesting possiblities. but i consider it broken unless/until it supports scrolling with the spacebar, like ever other web page. fyi, i'm on firefox 11 osx.
Spacebar scrolling is actually already implemented, not sure why it's not working for you.

Also doesn't degrade gracefully in case of no javascript.

The demo doesn't, but any developer could easily set up a default layout for cases when Javascript is disabled.

#29I think the effect on http://www.marketo.com/ (no affiliation) works better. I get inertial scrolling for instance, just feels more natural.

#30Very neat. Not at all iPad friendly. Jerky at best when you click the individual numbers and no scroll or gesture seems to get you going from one part to the next.
