  If ever there was an example of "Look what clever javascript tricks I can do!" trumping usability, that article was it. Who the feck thought it was a good idea to?...

  periodically have the text you were reading fade out and be overlaid with images. Amd have the captions for those images be off the bottom of the screen [on my MacBook Air 11"] but, when you scroll down to read them, the image fases away and dumps you back into the text again. Also often the end of a paragraph of text is off the bottom of the screen, but when you scroll it into view, the text fades out and an image fades in instead.

  But well done, whoever it was. You've proven you know JavaScript. Now go off and study accessibility for a while!
