..That could help avoid a holy war: I always want to keep
pages simple enough to look good in (e.g.) lynx, or on cell phones,
while some folks I have worked with are convinced that any page without
Flash isn't worth visiting.
Ughh! My own ISP is in love with Flash.
Fortunately they also have the sense to include a 'no flash',
version of the pages that people like me can actually visit.
I have never seen a Flash ..animation, control or anything
that was worth the bandwidth/wait, or the risk of a Flash
security hole (I heard there were some classics).
After the comments earlier from Chris(?) re active content
in PDF's, I'm considering whether I really need the reader
for those, either - OTOH, I have a pretty *old* Acrobat reader,
so hopefully I'll be OK with that.
..It's good to know that there is (at least
nominally) a way to distinguish between electronic clients with
different capabilities.
I think HTML, and the very concept of designing content
that can be delivered & presented ..however the frig' the
end-user can best use it at that instant, is awesome.
With hyper-links as well, it's the best thing since the
