Spritely is a jQuery plugin for creating dynamic character & background animations using HTML + JavaScript.

With the power of JavaScript, the animations can be controlled on events (clicks, mouseovers) easily.

Animated elements can fly over the page without effecting any other element (can be ideal for floating-type banners) & the page still remains accessible.

Specially, for the platforms where Flash is not supported, Spritely can be an alternative (like iPhone, iPad).

It works in all major browsers including IE6.

Nicolas Gallagher is sharing a creative way on creating good-looking speech bubbles with CSS3.

There are no images or JavaScript in the implementations but uses the :before and/or :after pseudo-elements to produce basic shapes.

The HTML remains semantic however we should remember that CSS3 is not fully supported by all major browsers & we may again require JavaScript to add this support (like IE7.js).
