Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
I am impressed by the fact that they were able to filter all of their text through flash (and create that cool cracked glass effect) and still have it all show up in the html. I was impressed because I looked at the source and didn't see this:
I'm confused. Is there a misunderstanding about what I'm impressed about still?
We were in fact looking at the same code. The flash was embedded with javascript and all the content was available whether or not flash/javascript were. This to me is very impressive since the site is so functional either way.

So is scriptaculous, bar the fact the demos are of JavaScript widgets, so those of course will be disabled. The design is all CSS, the fancy animations are JS (and not flash,) but the accessibility is still available to those without either.
What Ninja was impressed with was that it was a Flash site that had an HTML fallback that was managed through Javascript, so if Javascript was off, the site went from a Flash site to an HTML site transparently. When he looked at the code he didn't see any embedding of Flash code, only markup.
