Going Parallax!
2009 at 2:41 PM, Friday
I first came across this stunning effect on Dezignus. I instantly fell in love with it and felt my current website header wouldn’t mind a little pseudo-3D effect added to it. So, I worked till late last night and got this script implemented on my homepage. And it definitely looks kick-ass. So much so, that I have plans to implement this in all the sections. 
I know most of you might be unfamiliar with the word "Parallax", so here’s some gyaan:
Parallax scrolling is a special scrolling technique in computer graphics, seen first in the 1982 arcade game Moon Patrol. In this pseudo-3D technique, background images move by the "camera" slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth in a 2D video game and adding to the immersion… more at Wikipedia.
The script that I’m using here is developed by Stephen Band and it makes use of the very famous JavaScript Library, jQuery.

I really can use some help with the custom.js.php script file (i know this is the parallax script), i can’t download it from his server and recreate on my site.
I don’t know how much did you understand what i’m saying, please contact me if you have some free time, thank you.
best regards,
