8/10/2007 - Cool Webpage Trick

This video isn't exactly a great video, but what it's demonstrating is undeniably cool. If you're using a browser and you can copy and paste, you can amaze your friends (and yourself) by following the instructions in the video's description to make the images of any webpage dance around the screen. I've been programming for years, and I didn't even know something like this was possible. Not the concept, but the fact that a piece of JavaScript pasted into the URL field of the browser would activate that script on that page. I'm not sure why browser programmers would allow that to happen... seems like a security risk to me, but it does make this cool trick possible!
