Would be better with "Girl From Ipanema"
Though I've used elevators pretty much every day for 20 years, I can't recall the last time an elevator had music playing.
I don't know why there's so much empty space at the bottom but I did notice my phone allowed me to continue playing the song if I dragged up from the bottom. It's four full minutes of sweet, relaxing elevator music.
Don't stop re-inventing things! I know there probably are hundreds of those scripts/plugins out there - but this one made me laugh! Well done!
There should be a rule that pages that autoplays background music should explicitly warn the user.
Something.js strikes again!
I have to say, this definitely made me chuckle
In some browsers (e.g. Chrome), clicking the elevator and leaving the tab to make it inactive would play the tune indefinitely (the chime plays only when the tab is activated again). If you enjoyed the tune, well, you've got something to do now.
Scrolled to the bottom and there was no elevator.
It made me smile :)
In case you missed part of the joke: you need to turn your speakers on
Lol. Can't there be buttons 1..18 for the different levels, and if multiples are picked, sound on each one, doors opening (short time to read the paragraph), then another comes.
can't wait to use it now!
That was hilarious. I have hacked something like this a while ago (autoscrilling from bottom to top), but without the elevator-references, and the music...
Hm, I must have gotten a js error because I didn't see an elevator button, and until I checked HN comments, I had assumed this was a social experiment/joke to see how far people scroll to find nothing. I tried it couple times, too..
I made a web page like that a long long time ago.

The music no longer plays in browsers for some reason.
There is a strange behavior on my computer. If I turn the volume up/down when the music is playing I instantly get to the top of the page !
I thought this is a useless library, UNTIL I checked out HN comments to find out that the library played a sound too while scrolling up. :)
Brilliant
Too bad his name isn't Tim Rolman...
I was already playing music when I pressed that elevator button...
Thanks for the "great" experience :)
Well, I wasn't expecting that!
Actually made me laugh a little, nice!
I thought it was the old vintage arcade game :-(
This was a lot of fun. I don't care that it isn't hyper-practical, or a jQuery plugin may or may not exist. We aren't that serious about ourselves, are we?
It doesn't work in Safari.
it is very silly.
does that track have a title?
Solid chuckle. Two thumbs up
Excellent !
Thanks a lot, you woke my girlfriend up.
Well made sir!
good work
Hilarious!
Who wrote this a 5 year old?!
I'm very annoyed about the sudden blaring, jarring music. Got a few angry stares from colleagues.
The polite thing to have done would at least put up a notice.
I don't see why you would create a javascript lib for such a simple task, perhaps a jQuery plugin would have been sufficient. Oh wait, it already exists. Perhaps you were just bored?
I know it would ruin the joke, but there should be some notice to turn up your volume. My speakers were muted, so I didn't realize I was missing anything until I saw the HN comments.
Definitely made me chuckle once I got the full experience.
