Hi Colir,

That’s not a bad improvement! If I make a future version, I’ll be sure to append the function like this. The .mousemove() and .click() handlers are nice and easy to set up the prototype, so it’s mainly laziness that means I haven’t changed it

Thanks!

Dom

Hi dom
Thanks for this plugin, it’s really efficient !
I’ve just one sugges:
Change the :
” $((options.useHTML) ? ‘html’ : this).mousemove(function(e) { ”
by :
” $((options.useHTML) ? ‘html’ : this).bind(‘mousemove’,(function(e) { ”

With the bind event we have an easy way to stop the parallax effect by using unbind()

This can be usefull in certain case

thanks again for this plug !

That looks like a pretty robust solution… Was that for a particular browser? I do most of my testing in WebKit so I do tend to neglect the others on occasion…

I've had to make a minor change to your code in order to make untouched y and x axis remain untouched... probably not the best way but here's what I did:

          var coords = $(options.elements[i].selector).css('backgroundPosition').split(' ');
          opts['background-position'] = '' + (('background-position-x' in opts) ? opts['background-position-x'] : coords[0]) + ' ' + (('background-position-y' in opts) ? opts['background-position-y'] : coords[1]);

around the "fix for firefox"
