> Flash actually is searchable. Hmm. Does it have to be a specific version of flash, built a specific way? Just thinking of claims that "flash is accessible", which actually means "flash mx can be accessible if the developer really knows what they are doing; and the user knows how to use it, has the latest plugin and doesn't have flash disabled".

The flip side is that an increasing number of users now disable/selectively enable Flash content. Opera and Firefox both have easy ways to control plugins; and now that Flash ads are the new popups, people are motivated to disable Flash. As you can probably guess, I'm one of those people :) It's amazing how many sites have absolutely no content at all when Flash is disabled - not even a "turn flash on" message. h -- --- <http://cheshrkat.blogspot.com/> --- The future has arrived; it's just not --- evenly distributed. - William Gibson ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
