The Works of Román Cortés

If you ever thought that you couldn't do extraordinary things on the web without the use of JavaScript or Flash, you're purely mistaken. While sitehopping, I came across to Román Cortés' portfolio (www.romancortes.com) and have experienced the jaw-dropping CSS tricks he made. I always believed we need to rely on JavaScript for these kind of tricks, but I was wrong. And so I compiled his must-be-seen works in this post to give you an idea what I'm talking about.
