Every time I see a website like this I think "I really wish I had both the visual design and front-end engineering talents to make something like this happen". I have enough problems getting text to go where I want it to go and while I can read and understand Javascript I just have no clue where I'd even start going about getting, e.g., semi-transparent balloons with rounded corners as a rollover effect. That would probably take me a week to get right, after much copy/pasting.

I suppose that, somewhere out there, there is a front end engineer really wishing he could alter the Big Freaking Enterprise Web App backing his AJAX calls.




Have you looked at jQuery and jQuery tools? they make life easier, by far.
