There’s also a problem with the jquery.tagcloud.js file. node.width does not contain a value, but node.width.width does on line 118. I’m a jscript noob so apologies if I’ve used the wrong terminology.

Looking at the source, it looks like you have the tagcloud.js file loading after the script that calls it in the header. That would likely explain why it doesn’t work.

I dont think there seems to be any performance issue.. atleast till you have few tens of tags. The math behind the rotation remains the same in flash as well as js versions.
only problem that I see in this implementation now is that it does not works with all browsers. Only works with HTML 5 enabled browsers.

This is cool. I’ve seen such kinda 3D tag clouds in many blogs. But most of them were using Flash. But, it’s good to replicate the same in JS too.

But, what about performance? Will there be any penalty?
