The Peeling Page is an effect is normally used by advertisers to show advertisements that would otherwise occupy space that is larger than what is available on a page. It is very slick, and is normally implemented in Flash. This script on Flashden costs $4, though there is a free tutorial available. The thing about the Flash version is that it uses both JavaScript and Flash, which may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

This is where Soh Tanaka’s jQuery + CSS idea comes in. It uses simple CSS and jQuery to mimic the Flash version, which can possibly translate to faster development and maybe even faster loading pages. The tradeoff is the absence of any extensive banner animation — something that can only be done in Flash. However, I believe this solution is worthy of a look, at least for those in need of a quick peeling page component for their project.
