The jQuery Taconite Plugin allows you to easily make multiple DOM updates using the results of a single AJAX call. It processes an XML command document that contain instructions for updating the DOM.

The most important thing to remember when working with Taconite is that the server response must have an XML content-type. This is critical for the browser to interpret the response as XML data. You control the content-type of the response using response headers.

The Taconite Plugin is compatible with jQuery v1.0.4 and later.

These layers move in response to the mouse, and, depending on their dimensions (and options for layer initialisation), they move by different amounts, in a parallaxy kind of way.
