France has a far, far worse case of it than any other market I've seen. The same schoolkids are apparently designing all Web sites in France. The only ones that don't require Flash seem to be the ones for French affiliates of multinational corporations, where level-headed corporate standards prohibit Flash content at the worldwide level. There's about a 9 out of 10 chance that in visiting a French site you'll be confronted with only a "Flash-splash" screen, and absolutely no way around it. When your computer doesn't require Flash, you're effectively turning money away at the door. It consistently amazes me that French Web designers are this stupid. They are years behind the times; the rest of the Web got past the "Flash fever" very rapidly after Flash became available. > it's marketing by the web > designers for express purpose of using latest tech for showing off. > ( btw, those that liked flash sites, all of them were web designers. ) But it works better when the clients of Web designers are so ignorant of IT and the Web that they don't know any better when Flash is proposed to them. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ Mozilla-security mailing list [email protected] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-security
