CE Project: Worlds Widest Webpage

[The_Big_K]

CEans!

Those who still doubt if World's Widest Web Page is possible - Have a look at this website : - http://www.onemilewebsite.com/ !

Now we have a challenge, what say?

Tasks -

1. The idea used by above website is fantastic. Can we think something on similar lines?
2. I personally think of a 'form' which our CEans fill in & it gets uploaded to the WWWP, so that with every new entry, our WWWP widens
3. Clear all self-doubts. Let's get started! HTML Gurus! Where are you? (any other alternatives on how to implement this?)

Cummon folks! Its our chance to put our name in the World Record Holder's list - yep, you are included!

Thats a good website. But I'm not sure why they have developed such a thing. I didn't find any value in creating such a page, although indeed the concept is innovative.

Anyway, why do some thing on the similar line? We will do some thing different. I'm an absolute novice as far as technology goes. So I won't be much of help. But I urge all the intelligent CEans to come up with suggestions and ideas.

So shoot!

Why they developed such a thing...

Sometimes we do something just for the heck of fun. I'm game for WWWP. I can contribute to adding stuff to the page. But someone expert in setting up a webpage may help.

Alright, at the moment, the idea we have is to put all the members usernames and their disciplines. That is a good start! Maybe we can enlist CEans to list all members in a document file first.

Just wanted to update

That string is around 7.5cm long with Verdana size "4". I'm not sure what would be the average length.. but i'll select 8cm as an arbitrary figure.

With roughly 10k members, we will make it to around 800m if we put our usernames and discipline (with that font and size).

At size "7", the string is 20cm long. Multiply that by 10k, you'll get 2km. With every 1000 new members, we can increase the length by 200m. Thats a start, at least

So, any suggestions on what else to make it longer? Anything else we can add?

[EDIT]
It is more desirable to put user generated content. For example, we can have a story game in which members say three words, while the next member continues with another three. Something like that. Stir that brain of yours, CEans!

found this website dedicated to horizantal scrolling. The Horizontal Way - an horizontal showcase for horizontal scrolling websites.
They have a template available for download. that might be a good place to start.

Oh Good! Joe, I was thinking of having CEans to code an engine that will keep the wwwp growing horizontally.

Btw, thanks for sharing the site URL. I think we can build on this idea. What say?
