Everything is spinning!

[Jim Boyd]

Step 1. Go to the BTCentral main page.
Step 2. Copy the following and paste it in the url window.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}se tInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Step 3. Press the "ENTER" key.
Step 4. Watch as everything spins

I tried to do what you explained, and nothing happened. Does "javascript" go with the paste? The URL you mentioned is it the one at the top with the "go" button to the right?

There's a missin ; and an extra space, use:

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++};s etInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Doesn't work for me now either

Try this version, it should fix the problems.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px";}R++;} ; setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Impressive - it did work this time, and that too on Firefox 2.0!
Of course, while it is spinning, none of the buttons on the page show (reply / quote/ etc).

Tried it on other URLs - works on news.google.com, my.yahoo.com (though here it sort of spirals instead of spinning), but not on gmail.com
