jParallax

By: Mark Dijkstra    In: CSS Images jQuery

Parallax turns a selected element into a ‘window’, or viewport, and all its children into absolutely positioned layers that can be seen through the viewport.

These layers move in response to the mouse, and, depending on their dimensions (and options for layer initialisation), they move by different amounts, in a parallaxy kind of way.

@Long Beach Web Design -
I don’t have seen a site that uses this effect so you might be the first. Let me know when you have used this effect in a website.
