The red sliders were also not working for me on OS X w/FF 3.6.3 though the slideshow and canvas mask demos were. Figured I'd try with Chrome and Safari and the red sliders didn't work there either.

After I reloaded the page in Firefox, they are working on all 3 browsers. Kind of baffling.

I know how frustrating "doesn't work" is as a bug report but I can't give a lot of detail since it all works now. When it wasn't working, "dragging" would just select text on the page. The "draggable" red sliders would not move.

If dragging would just select text on the page that means that the script was has not even initialized. Something was blocking the JavaScript to run at all.

It sounds like the script just wasn't loading in the first place — probably a network or server glitch rather than a bug in the script.

FTR, all of the demos work flawlessly for me in FF3.0, OS X 10.5.

I can't wait to play around with this thing. Tap-and-fling everywhere.

Are you sure? I didn't encounter any problems on OS X. Try updating your Firefox to the current version, 3.6.
