Mine works groovy. Yes, I know, that last movie (you have to click on where the movie is because its made for full screen application unless you change that) Your wheel should work.

How 2006.

One way is to use flash elements. Easy enough to do if your designing concept to completion. Another is with code.

I think I've seen it before, but I can't recall. Another problem I have with flash and fancy javascript as well is when they break scrolling - that is, when I can't use the scrollwheel on my mouse to scroll. Boy I hate that.

I agree web pages have definitely evolved certain over all feels. Web page physics if you will :) For instance the scrolling your talking about. Some things are just supposed to scroll. One interesting aspect of creating designs in a program like Flash (at least to me) is that even if the client wants something constant you have enough resources to make that happen in a more creative way, trying to incorporate it into the over all page more rather than having it so detached. (funny how detached things can be when you attach them). I never design pages with fixed objects, it has to be a sort of non negotiable thing with the client, otherwise I try and talk them out of it.

Sigh. Gross, that feedback box is extra annoying because it isn’t even fixed, it’s very jumpy as it works to keep up with your scrolling. Sigh.

The word I use is "vertiginous." It's not as distracting as the little sprites that follow you down the page, like the <a href="http://www.opinionlab.com/" rel="nofollow">OpinionLab</a> "feedback" widget, though I can at least understand and appreciate the utility of those.
