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:

Code: Select all

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

<html>

  <head>

    <title>Some Design Company</title>

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type"images/x-icon" />

    <meta name="title" content="Some Design Company">

    <meta name="author" content="Some Design Company">

    <meta name="description" content="Graphic Design .. yadda yadda">

    <meta name="keywords" content="bla bla bla">

  </head>

  <!-- UPDATED 12:30 -->

  <body bgcolor="#4D4D4D">

    <table height="100%" width="100%" border="0">

      <tr>

        <td></td>

        <td width="750">

          <div align="center">

              <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0" width="750" height="418" align="middle">

              <param name="movie" value="movie.swf">

              <param name="quality" value="high">

              <embed src="movie.swf" quality="high" width="750" align="middle" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="750" height="418"></embed>

            </object>

          </div>

        </td>

        <td></td>

      </tr>

    </table>

  </body>

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.
