well then if they can't afford a computer newer than the last 7 years, they obviously can't afford the jewlery on the website, so it is a good initial filter :-P

Not to mention that some of these secretary's have a passed down machine that's like 7 yrs old, I know this because my uncle pass's his old computers at his surgery to the secretary, and you can barely load SMH...

[ ... ] 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]<mailto:[email protected]>) Software Engineer Codify Pty Ltd - www.codify.com<http://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 _______________________________________________ ozsilverlight mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight
