I've recently stumbled upon the TurnJS plugin to create a page turning effect. I'm working on a project right now with it to recreate a Flash flipbook that was built in the past. One of the stipulations is that it has to be shrunk or magnified to fill the browser window without scrolling. I've been experimenting with my own simple JS utilizing browser transform properties to scale the container. The scaling is working however the flip book effects don't work very well once everything has been scaled (shaky page transitions and the page corners don't work very well).
I've also been experimenting with without much luck either.
I've also implemented a chart on the second page using Flot and have also noticed that when zoomed, the mouse over are not aligned correctly. It's similar to what's happening with the page corners.
The original flash version: http://www.return-it.ca/ar2010/index.html
Without zooming: http://dev.bitpowered.ca/encorp/
Have I gone about this the wrong way? Is there an alternative to getthing this all to work, or am I SOL on this one? Thanks in advance.

I am running into a random issue in a website that I am working. This website contains many images and some images are 1Mb in size or bigger. The site also uses some CSS3 tricks, like 3D rotations.
Since I added this 3D CSS stuff, I noticed a problem in Google Chrome where some random areas in the website are not rendered.
This is a screen-shoot of how the site should be rendered, the green lines are because I've enabled the "Composited render layer borders" on chrome://flags:
And this is how it get rendered when the issue happens:
This white squares appear randomly and they can disappear or reappear in another place if the scroll the website. I also noticed that this problem is more common in lower-end computers so I my guess is that somehow Chrome is running out of GPU memory.
Why this problem happens? and is the any workaround for it (besides disabling the 3d CSS)?
In case it helps, this is the website:

Update:
I raised a issue for the Chrome team.
I couldn't reproduce this problem in the Chrome Canary.
It was a Chrome Issue, and its fixed now:

I can only congratulate the Chrome team for pushing bugfixes so fast, I wish IE was like this.
I am trying to make a website with a video background using HTML5's video tag. I also tried using a jQuery plugin (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/videoBG). I got the video to load and work properly, but every time it makes other content appear grainy/pixelated. Is there anyway to place items on top of the video background and not have them appear grainy / pixelated?
You can see the pages I've created. The code is fairly simple, so I won't include it here.

You'll notice that the logo and text look different from page to page, but they are using the save CSS rules. Thank you in advance!

This seems to be a known issue with Chrome. I tried the same two pages in Firefox (5.0), IE (9), and Opera (10), and I couldn't tell the difference in the rendering.
EDIT: I also tried the two pages in Safari (5.0.1/Windows), and the rendering looks even worse there. So, perhaps it's a webkit issue.
A part the Chrome bug, your logo image is bigger than it appears, and is scaled down via CSS.
Using a correctly sized image would remove any logo issue.
The text below renders fine in both version BTW (chrome 14.0.797.0 m)
I've built a website for someone, but according to him, scrolling is very very choppy on the website in IE7 on his computer. On my computer I don't have any problems with scrolling (in any browser), i've already tried some things, but according to him scrolling still is very choppy. So I was wondering if someone has some suggestions for me? I think the main problem is the full width background image, but i'm not entirely sure.
The website is:
www.casalagodilugano.nl
The website is in dutch, but for this question that doesn't have to matter
edit:
Tx for the helpful answers. In the end, it was indeed the background image which caused problems in IE7. By accident I found a way to work around this problem: I set the image as the background image, centered the image, and using css3 I made sure the was stretched the way it should.
I had a problem similar to this. It turned out to be because my computer was full and my performance suffered. Viewing the issue on my new machine (also had IE7) produced no choppy scrolling. I fear your client has the same problem, perhaps suggest it's his computer and not your website?
Edit:
Many things affect the processing on a website, I'd suggest it has to do with your background image. The sand has quite a "repeatable" texture so perhaps you should Photoshop it down so it's a much smaller image and just use 'background-repeat' in your CSS to achieve a similar effect. Your background image is also around 200% of what it displays on the website, I copied the URL of the image and viewed it by itself and it's HUGE! The emphasis here is on image file size, because IE is having trouble shifting the image down when you scroll. It's not a very good browser to be fair. I've also noticed that your large header image is larger in actual size, suggesting that the size is reduced by your code. Try reducing this image size to the size you want to display it
Edit pt 2
I've stumbled upon a script that for some reason waits 5 seconds before running and that is the Google maps API. I respect that you need this for the Routes page but if I were you, on any page where there is no map, remove any mention of the google maps api from the source code.
I have found that IE gets choppy when you have an <input> tag without a border or background specified ... very strange IE "bug" but i've fixed choppy scrolling on sites/pages by just adding a border to the <input> tags.
I am trying to recreate a page flipping type animation in HTML5 using canvas. The animation is based on ideas from this page. But that's not really important. The problem I am having is that using the 'source-in' composite operation is not giving me the results I expect and would like clarification as to why. I think it only works on chrome, not working on FF 3.6.
The black rectangle is supposed to act as a 'mask' for the page being turned over. All I want to see is the turning page in the areas where it overlaps the mask. The problem is the entire black rectangle is drawn, not just the area where they overlap.
I know HTML5 isn't really being used yet, I'm just experimenting for my personal site and curiosity. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Canvas Compositing support was broken and might still be incomplete in some browsers.
Compare the images here
with the actual rendering in your browser to see what works in which browser right now.
I am currently developing a PHP website that has a lot of Flash components. On each page there are one or more custom Flash components embedded with swfObject, as well as sIFR navigation.
Every so often, ALL of the Flash objects on the page become unresponsive to the mouse (no hand pointer). So far I have found it happening only in Firefox 3.5.3 on Mac. I am using CSS to position everything with a specific stacking order to get around the bounding-box overlap issue - for example, the main navigation overlaps the top right corner of a big Flash component.
It works fine most of the time, however, if I click through the pages enough times in Firefox 3 on Mac, eventually I cannot "roll over" any of the Flash elements.
Does anyone know why all the Flash objects in a PHP page would stop responding to the mouse, sIFR included?
Here is the site if you want to give it a try.
This is usually a combination of putting wmode (transparent or opaque) on the Flash movie, which itself is contained in a floated element. Unfortunately it's a browser bug, but removing the wmode property should fix it.
