This JavaScript produces a rotating globe. The JavaScript in its current state is not really applicable to be used on live-sites. There are no problems with current browsers, but it overstrains current CPUs. The script works - as long as the radius is not chosen to large - without problems, but strains the computer in a way you would not expect your visitors to take. Serious problems this JavaScript has with Firefox, version 3 and above. On versions up to 3 the script worked like a charm - starting with version 3 its a real pain.
The source does not care about elegance and style, its designed for speed only - and therefore rather large. The image is doubled for the same reason.
I invite everybody to participate in speeding up the script. The only rule: Improvements in one browser may not be paid with regress in another.
The JavaScript is till now tested as follows:

Miscellaneous:
I am happy about everybody who gives me a link back to www.bretteleben.de on his website, this way helping me to popularize the script. The JavaScript "rotating globe" is till now listed in different JavaScript - resources, including the largest - as far as i know - JavaScript resource: HotScripts.
If you have questions or suggestions about this JavaScript, please use the comment-function. Records about the behavior of this script with further browsers/operating systems would be appreciated.
The ZIP-archive contains a demo-page, all configurable parameters are commented inside the script.
