Currently, it’s 18.939 kilometers high (that’s about 11.769 miles), and an enormous pleasure to scroll.

(so they say)

I used the free-spin mode on my MXRevolution mouse and managed to scroll though the thing in 10 minutes. Why I actually did it, I don't know...

I used the scrollbar dudes and in 1 sec I am at the bottom.
WOW, but I thought a server in himalayas mountain (everest).

Lol... what's the point of this? Can't someone else just start a site and keep on typing and beat 11,000?

Well I don't think it's possible. I'm sure if they wanted to go "higher" than 18.9km they would've. See this...

For the records – Gecko-based browsers like Firefox show an interesting behavior when you want to make the site any higher (than precisely 18.939583 kilometers, that is), namely by “shrinking” or “collapsing” its main container;

I suppose they may have just been really desperate to break a world record! They probably just kept on copying and pasting it, it would have been the fastest way!

Just saw the head and the bottom dudes, they could have inserted CPM ADs somewhere in their site and they get money even if they never show any ADs.

And still they can Copy/Paste everything to double the height. And look at this

Code:

<!-- Actually, the highest “div” element of the world: -->

			<div id="whws"></div>
			<!-- Right. -->
