I know it would ruin the joke, but there should be some notice to turn up your volume. My speakers were muted, so I didn't realize I was missing anything until I saw the HN comments.<p>Definitely made me chuckle once I got the full experience.
I don't know why there's so much empty space at the bottom but I did notice my phone allowed me to continue playing the song if I dragged up from the bottom. It's four full minutes of sweet, relaxing elevator music.
Don't stop re-inventing things! I know there probably are hundreds of those scripts/plugins out there - but this one made me laugh! Well done!
In some browsers (e.g. Chrome), clicking the elevator and leaving the tab to make it inactive would play the tune indefinitely (the chime plays only when the tab is activated again). If you enjoyed the tune, well, you've got something to do now.
Lol. Can't there be buttons 1..18 for the different levels, and if multiples are picked, sound on each one, doors opening (short time to read the paragraph), then another comes.<p>can't wait to use it now!
That was hilarious. I have hacked something like this a while ago (autoscrilling from bottom to top), but without the elevator-references, and the music...
Hm, I must have gotten a js error because I didn't see an elevator button, and until I checked HN comments, I had assumed this was a social experiment/joke to see how far people scroll to find nothing. I tried it couple times, too..
I made a web page like that a long long time ago.<p><a href="http://www.redwoodsoft.com/dru/elevator/" rel="nofollow">http://www.redwoodsoft.com/dru/elevator/</a><p>The music no longer plays in browsers for some reason.
This was a lot of fun. I don't care that it isn't hyper-practical, or a jQuery plugin may or may not exist. We aren't <i>that</i> serious about ourselves, are we?
Who wrote this a 5 year old?!<p>I'm very annoyed about the sudden blaring, jarring music. Got a few angry stares from colleagues.<p>The polite thing to have done would at least put up a notice.
I don't see why you would create a javascript lib for such a simple task, perhaps a jQuery plugin would have been sufficient. Oh wait, it already exists. Perhaps you were just bored?
