Your browser must not support 3D transitions so the plugin degrades to the fade transition. Try one of the latest Chrome/Safari/Firefox browsers to see the 3D scrolling.

Ah, I did actually fix this! (https://github.com/p-m-p/jquery-box-slider/commit/7970c64d26...) I will update the demo :)

This was actually my inspiration. Slicebox doesn't seem to degrade very well for Firefox which is what led me to create my own.

This is a bug with Firefox's implementation, there's an open ticket for it here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769892

Indeed, it would be interview terminated.

Perhaps I'm envisaging an ideal world but I'd much rather see some production code they have produced and ask questions about that. It's very easy to gauge someone's knowledge of a particular technology by just talking to them about it.

Asking people to write code on a whiteboard in the pressure of the interview environment doesn't seem very reflective of how they work day to day to me. Perhaps judging them on previous projects or open source work they have contributed to would be a better approach. If someone gave me a pen and a whiteboard and asked me to draw code I think I would likely say thanks but no thanks and walk out of the interview.
