Nice trick, works lovely and smooth – I was surprised how smooth in FF2 on Windows.
I tried to set “position: fixed” on the #slider element so that it would float above the text as you scrolled down (I gave it a background to make it stand out as well), but that must break the slider bit, because it stopped sliding.
Anyway, I’m sure with a bit more tweaking I could get it to work – cool none the less, and congrats on the first 24ways article – I look forward to the rest!

ps: Textile formatting isn’t working very well – I tried to wrap the “position: fixed” in @s to make it into a “code” block, and it didn’t work.
