We fell into the scroll trap with our website last year. I spent a long time figuring out how to get scrolling working smoothly in all the browsers (hint, don't rely on anyones libraries but your own).

Most of it is not that interesting but if you scroll down to Snapper and Twilert (about half way down) you can see how we did the animations ourselves instead of using lots of big jpgs. (actually, cudos to jquery.rotate for making it possible)

It works in IE7+ (though the js engine in IE7+8 is slooooow).

With a lot of work you can get something that looks pretty but at the expense of a lot of other things (like usability).
