>From a site designer's (or owner's) perspective Flash and JavaScript are also two ways of preventing your site from being properly indexed by search engines. My web design students are allowed to put Flash and JavaScript in their sites *only* if they provide alternative functionality (as much as is practical) that works with Flash/JavaScript off. I was once searching for information on a product I wanted to buy and was having trouble finding anything useful. And I realized than none of my search queries were turning up anything on the *manufacturer's* web site. I went there and found that not only was its navigation terrible, but *all* the internal links were JavaScript-based, so basically the home page was the only one the search engines had listed. If I were the president of that company I'd have sued the company that designed that page. I don't have any ad blockers on my web browser, but I do have the FlashBlock plug-in for Firefox and it amounts to almost the same thing. There are few things on the web more annoying than Flash ads! -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
