Setting specific javascript code for how one image on a page should tilt strikes me as a greater failure in separating concerns than a "TiltLeft" class.

Shouldn't such properties be defined within JavaScript itself and not within a class-attribute? Like fetching all pictures with the class of "foobar" by a getElementsByClass and applying the properties to them within JavaScript? Looks very nice – but unobtrusive with that class? Shouldn’t such properties be defined within JavaScript itself and not within a class-attribute?

It's a very cool effect, and to his credit Christian states on the page that "through VML a canvas emulation in Internet Explorer will be done" -- but it sure seems like a lot of Javascript developers these days feel that ignoring a browser with > 50% of market share (http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp) is an acceptable trade-off for some eye-candy coolness.

I dunno, I still might consider IE one of the major browsers. It's myopic to think otherwise. “Supports all major browsers – degrades gracefully on IE…”
