Notes

Use view source in your browser to grab a copy of the Html / JavaScript.

Some excellent examples =) I loved using the Google Maps one with you this evening; great being able to click your name and to view what you were looking at in real time.

Yes, forgot to mention in the GoogleMaps, double click another users name to view what they are looking at.

You can set a home location with the Set Home button, view others home by selecting the name from the user list then 'View Home' button.

in the first example, using firefox 1.5.. well its all screwed up... fixed in firefox 2.x / 3.x anyone ?
by first, i mean Jeffs, the shake

First example works fine 3.x for me. 1.5 is way outdated

Works fine in Firefox 2.x too

Very true; but many people still use it :\

The problem is probably due to the script used in this page to shake the screen.

Is build 247 required ? 'cos in Andrew's first example, all the vitalize! object events are... non existant and it just shows the bullet points
EDIT: ah yeh, b247 fixes it
EDIT2: think I found a bug, in IE, using the JS code it will pickup the vitalize ID fine (ID: 2 (object Vitalize2)) but using firefox, it will not pick it up unless the ID to search for in the JS is 0, which doesn't work for IE... bug with firefox (1.5) or what ;s?
And one final thing: there needs to be global value protection for scores and such so that not all global vales / strings can be changed via JS

There is an "Enable scripting features" option in the properties of the application. Just unselect it.

but I mean for some values, like if the score is stored in one value and its submitted via JS or something, anyone can take the HTML and change the code so it always sets the score to an extremely high number

If you submit the score via Javascript or anything else you should encrypt it with a private key so that nobody can change it easily.

Very Cool, this should be stickied after there are 2 pages, though.

It keeps shaking and when it shakes i loose the ball

That's the whole point. Read the first post!
