http://www.statowl.com/silverlight.php <http://www.statowl.com/silverlight.php>Silverlight/Flash is a great adjunct to an HTML web site (to play video or a browser game), but you're barking mad to turn two in three of your users away (except to see a basic list of stores). Aside from an initial flash in the pan from nerds like me looking at it purely because it is implemented in SL - your analytics/KPIs are going to look like a train smash in a month. The average secretary looking for some info on the next Gold Gold Silver Silver Chain Chain Sale Sale on her work PC at lunch isn't going to be able to install it anyway. Turning away 2 in 3 customers in the lead up to Christmas ... ? Hell, we try and talk customers out of using Javascript unless it is needed (so you don't lose the 5-7% of people on rubbish browsers, behind nazi proxies/anti-malware, etc) I'll get back in my box now. -- David Connors ([email protected]) Software Engineer Codify Pty Ltd - www.codify.com Phone: +61 (7) 3210 6268 | Facsimile: +61 (7) 3210 6269 | Mobile: +61 417 189 363 V-Card: https://www.codify.com/cards/davidconnors Address Info: https://www.codify.com/contact
