This scroller/viewer is similar to one using MooTools. It scrolls both the semi-transparent content divs to designated targets AND the optional background image, using smooth scrolling. The javascript source for this is lightweight, about 125 lines of code (5.73 kb) compared with about 10,000 lines in the MooTools-core and MooTools-more libraries (237 kb).

I tried out a lot of javascripts from libraries, and modded many with added features, better style, or just plain better function. I prefer to use off-the-shelf open source code as a starting point, it saves time (and saves money for my clients). However, I developed ideas for functions that weren't in any script libraries, so I had to cook them from scratch. I collected a few of these original and unusual javascript widgets, doodads, and apps at jsgenie Scripts.

A political application of JavaScript - politics aside, the effects are pretty radical.
