How was this menu built? Where the viewer scrolls down, and it moves somewhat and then stays:

Snappy site. Too bad the content is completely uninteresting.

The jerking off in this thread over shit that was done in Flash 10+ years ago (and looked / operated better) is making me scratch a hole through my head...
... this is pretty fucking lame to be honest. :)
They're using greensock... the same tweening engine that most 'good' Flash sites used for years— long before GS wrote the classes for JS.
The animations are 'fluid'... 'yeeha'... (and might I add?... ... it's about fucking time?) This ability for fluid motion has been around since the(se) tweening engine(s) has (have) existed... it's just most developers are TOO LAZY to learn the easing parameters / options. Yep... I said it... lots of lazy developers out there NOT WILLING to go the extra mile on stuff like this and that's why it's taken so long for anything respectable to show it's face in JS / HTML / CSS. Back when Flash was in play the majority of your Flash developers were pretty passionate about putting in all the 'stops' and making sure things were developed as close to the pixel as possible...
... the web has gone downhill. :(

ya Jquery has plugins you can use, IE: http://www.unheap.com/
there's also CSS "stuff" you can re-use: http://css-tricks.com/, http://www.css3maker.com/, etc.
Google and patiently reading are your friends =)

Learning CSS and Javascript is easy as long as you try to make your life easy. What I mean is that since there is such a large community and it's open source, there are tonnes of libraries out there that already package pretty much any trick or effect you would want to produce... so your job is to find those libraries and make them all work together. You'll end up hacking scripts together more than anything else, and that's also a great way to learn how things work. Eventually you end up getting more and more of it and you build up your tricks and shortcuts just like you do as a graphic designer.
Unless you want to become a developer, than you have to learn the fundamentals to be worth something.
- Are you talking about jquery when you say packages?pinkfloyd

I wouldn't touch any of those with a ten foot pole, just learn jQuery and CSS3 by heart and cherrypick relevant libs to save time
They used MapBox for the maps BTW

Use Chrome's developer tools to inspect it. It's a great way to figure out how things are done.

most animations are CSS3.
