Yes. That's exactly what I mean. :-) One of these days, I'll have to see if
I can figure out which bit of javascript is doing that.
On facebook, the bits slide around smoothly and give you partial
transparency of the thing you're dragging about, so it looks really awesome,
but it's the same basic principle, methinks.

Sure, a tablet or something like that sure would give artists far more
freedom for stroking shapes away. Not so much for precise technical
drawing or modelling though, where imprecise hand movements would do
much worse than accurately shaping things away by inputing float numbers
for 3D transforms and axis locking.

I saw a video of one that people were designing (for example) airplanes on.
Particular strokes would let you set up connection points with particular
properties, locking bits to certain planes, angles, proportions, etc. So
you'd draw a 3D object on the 3D projection of the object on the tablet, and
it would be precise and easy. A shame I've never figured out how to
organize such links so I could find them later. :-)
But I was thinking more real live 3D, not stereoscopic or perspective. Top
of the line, of course, would be something like in Iron Man.

Same here: http://www.mycrysis.com/portal.php
Do a find in the source for 'draggablebox' - that might be it.

In case you can read German or French - this one is quite good to learn about
HTML, CSS (= the secrets behind the div tag) and even some JavaScript-based
Dynamic HTML:
http://www.selfhtml.org/
Unfortunately I know of nothing in English language that compares. (Doesn't mean
there wouldn't be anything out there - I just didn't need to search ;) BTW,
there must have been an English version somewhere back in time, so maybe it's
still possible to dig that up on the never-forgetting net)

Better go straight for XHTML - HTML 4 is a bit outdated...

Must have been quite some time ago, right?
(You'll still be sorely disappointed if you hope that modern browsers support
all of the *newest* CSS spec, and I guess that will always be the case, but if
you're just looking for the stuff you missed, say, 5 years ago, it's probably
worth another try now.)

If you can't imagine, then you've never *really* toyed around with CSS yet -
only with the CSS equivalent of the classic HTML attributes like "color",
"bgcolor" etc...

Because IE6 failed at that feature of CSS.

No, he's just demonstrating... as the elements are all different anyway, there's
no point in using classes in this case, is there?
