Developers ..OMG, how did they do that?
 

That is some super freak'n cool draggable-windows based navigation they have going on there at beautifulpeople.com. How did they do it? What technologies were used? Anyone have any ideas or thoughts on it?

VERY COOL STUFF! :thumbsup


From their site..

"The site introduces revolutionary web technologies featuring a draggable-windows based navigation. The intuitive, application-like interface allows you to interact with an unlimited number of features and sections of the site simultanously."

Havent checked but it sounds like ajax.. check out dieselactions affiliate area - really cool.

looks like it's ready for spam!!! queue up the craigslist spammers

Fuck them and their IE requirements. Mean bastards. I wanted to see beautiful people.

BTW, BeautifulPeople.com - I'm using FF. You lazy bastards.

It's innovative, but to be honest I find it a little annoying to use.

ajax ....

Yeah... I know what you mean and I have told them about it;) Btw, WPM rocks! :thumbsup

surfer dont join sites based on technology used

I agree, and that goes without saying. ..I'm just trying to understand the root technology, or technologies they've employed there.

THIS iS ROCKET SCIENCE ZOMGZZ

NOT ajax. Regular javascript. Ajax is javascript that communicates with a server language to output info that you normally would have to do a page view to get, without that page view.

We know that..

The only difference is that only good looking people with shitty browsers can join :disgust

Obviously they know what they're doing. Only faggy fanboys with no clue use FF. Leaving the site to the elite - the beautiful people...

It does not do anything special on my browser either. Just looks like a flash page to me. You need all kinds of junk installed for it to work I guess. We're better off I think.

took too long to load :2 cents:

i dont see what windows you're talking about.

Jesus, not only is it browser-dependent, but platform-dependent too. Talk about totally cutting off 20% of your potential customer base.

One big developer FAIL.

The site is for people who look good - ugly people dont get voted in

Everyone know that Beautiful people use Microsoft and IE

Fags use Mac. Dykes use FF

"BeautifulPeople.net is only supported by Internet Explorer."

fuck that

check out dojo

its ajax, but u can do the same stuff in flash.

I don't see what you mean, parts of it are done using Flash.

For drag&drop there are several JavaScript libraries, like http://script.aculo.us/

I need to check it out:):):)

yea great website lol

"BeautifulPeople.net is only supported by Internet Explorer.

You are currently using version: Netscape 5.0"

ajax and dhtml

I tried the site but all I saw was a "YOU'RE TOO FUCKING UGLY TO USE THIS WEBSITE" error message. Sigh.
