It may be I just don't understand the instructions, but the page doesn't seem to work. There's nothing dragable on it.

Doesn't work with Firefox 3 – they make any dragged images transparent. Works ok in IE7, though.

When I first tested it in Firefox 3 and Opera 9 it didn't work, but now, couple of minutes later, the page works in both of them, so someone fixed it.
BTW – are those annoying white dots part of the illusion or just bugs in the scanimation-stripes.png file?

Doesn't work too well in Gnome/Linux because large images are resized when they are dragged.
Sort of works when the "animation" image is resized by ~33%.

Looks like you've got to click the tiny square in the top left of the image.

i can get it to work on Opera by dragging a few pixels from the top left of the stripes, but on IE7 the striped area is far too small :-/
before i re-loaded (i think something didn't load properly the first time) FF3 liked to drag a greyed out copy of the image when i miss the box too. Though it worked fine after refreshing...
(all on WinXP)

nice image trick, but my browsers aren't playing nicely

Didn't worked with FF. But I saw it with IE and woah! It's amazing!
Interesting side-effect: after being concentrated on those vertical lines, I see noisy waves everywhere (it affects vision temporally).
I was wondering if we could do something like this with a full color image...

on IE7 the grabbable stripes are tiny.... dragging a tiny box around isnt show me anything.

on FF2, the stripes are big but they dont move when I grab them.

I'm on BadVista.

I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 using Firefox 3

When I first tried it, it didn't work,but when I refreshed it, it did. I'm also seeing the white dots which where mentioned.

Thanks all. It worked on Firefox 3 here when I tested but I remember that sometimes I had to hit refresh. So now I changed the top stripes image to a background picture ... does that work better?

Here's another one of those books (and another that claims to be the "first" doing this):
