“Parallaxin'” @ HTML5 Rocks http://disq.us/8c0sd7
A rather wordy but ultimately interesting look at Parallaxing images by Paul Lewis of HTML5 Rocks:
His conclusion don’t guess, test is obvious; but thankfully he also provides methods to put this idiom to practice!
H5R’s responsiveness was much better on my BlackBerry Curve (OS7) than my Dual-Core portable running Firefox 17; but looking at the article and what it tries to achieve I think that’s no surprise. The amount of code that’s pulled from syndication alone is eye-watering, thankfully it’s all very pretty!
Thanks Paul!

Well, here’s the good news: that’s very easy to do:
img { max-width: 100%; }

Thoughts about IE and Max-width
Yes, IE7 (largely) solved the problem regarding its usefulness when MS integrated into IE7, as long as you used a proper DOCTYPE.
Now that Dean Edwards‘ “IE7-js” can work in place, Svend Tofte’s solution involving MS’ Dynamic Properties and Expressions still works appealingly well. Just make sure you follow the article exactly! Read More…
