Hi everyone,
Just out of curiosity I recently pointed one of my hand-typed pages at the W3
Validator, and my hand-typed code was just ripped to shreds. Then I pointed
some major sites (microsoft.com, cnn.com, etc.) at the W3 Validator; to my
surprise none of them passed.
Doesn't anyone care anymore, or are the standards more-or-less looked at as
guidlines for web design?

@netscape.net says... See http://www.alistapart.com/articles/flashsatay/ as to why that
doesn't work. Yes, I've read it and I've knew the solution even before. Now they offer a solution, but if you are a user of flash not a builder,
then the solution doesn't work. Also you have to have a container flash
object and all this other horse shit.
If I'm a "user" I probably won't make sites with such wide Web impact.
Not true all. We sell Flash components that companies plug into their
pages. Several hundred people (many form this forum) downloaded and use
the flash Jukebox I wrote. Many companies use swish with is a flash
compiler (for $49.00 from www.swishit.com) And quite a few don't see an
advantage when using the <embed> tag works great and on as many (or
more) than the standards work around. (It is not a solution, it is a
work around.)
And after all the above construct works in IE, it is that IE is
stupid enough not to stream the content - it is all its fault, go
complain Microsoft. Moreover the streaming probably doesn't matter
because almost all the Flash applets I've seen wait to load
completely, showing some kind of load progress indicator, before
starting.
Makes no difference if the blame is on Microsoft or anyone else. You
can sit there and whine all day long about how it is Mircosoft's fault
for their crappy browser, but since that crappy browser owns 80%+ of the
browser world, bitching about it does nothing. Dealing with it does.
Another moral of the story - use technologies appropriately.
I always say that. The problem is different people have different
levels of what appropriate means.
Flash
is useful mostly for animated banner ads and could be very useful
for specialized applets which implement real-time communication with
a server-app, for example. But what we currently see on the web is
mostly Flash-sh*t - Flash applets used for navigational links where
no alternative "simple" links provided, etc.
I totally agree (well, you still have a limited view on what flash can
do but that is irrelevant to the topic). But it is not the fault of the
technology that people make shit out if it. People can make a shitty web
site that follow all the standards. So are the standards bad because
someone can abuse it?
Gee hard decision here. less work, works on everyone's machine, and no
container flash. So I am not standards compliant, it works everywhere.
That's the erroneous thinking you got here - what does mean
"everywhere ", "all the browsers"...
You know exactly what it means.
It is not standard
Actually flash is pretty standard on most platforms.
and you've not
tried it with all the applications out there (you can't possibly
know all of them). So even if you've tested with possible enough
amount of different applications, currently - nothing guarantees it
would work with the next versions of those same applications.
nor is there a guarantee that the Standards will not depreciate a tag
you use and you have to re code. Nothing is guaranteed in business. And yea, I will have to go back and re-code someday. But since some of
you still code for nn4, I am not really worried about that.
Another erroneous thinking - I don't code for NN4.
I said some of you. Not to
mention if my site hasn't been re-coded in that amount of time anyway,
I have bigger problems that just standards.
What problems do you imply?
Playing the dumb card eh? Don't belittle yourself by pretending you
don't know exactly what I am talking about.

Why? The embed tag works like a charm, and if they search the web to
learn how to use a flash component, they will find the embed example.

Go for it.

Because it is not a work around that requires additional effort to make
it work the same way on the same browsers.
While one could presume standards imply their
design have some future extensible use your approach is somewhat
just irrational.
As soon as a browser stops supporting the embed tag, I will change. It
will be a touch one to replace 3 lines of code, but I think we will be
able to do it. And I can blame it on the browser for stopping support o
the tag, and charge everyone to update their sites! Money maker all the
way around. (I am being facetious)

Actually, I am not arguing at all. I am stating an alternate viewpoint,
that you wish to stick your head in the sand and pretend it does not
exist, even though it is the policy and the practice of virtually every
fortune 500 company in the world. (But those experts are to stupid to
know about standards, only the chosen few in this forum can know the
true way...)

See this is where we disagree. I think it is an important part of the
web.
You wan't to turn it into TV?!? Why not just watch the boob tube then?
Turn it into? It already is, where have you been?
Not quite. But many businesses are trying. I've been using the
internet before "the web"; I remember the first Mosaic coming out and
how "cool" I thought it was. Little did I know then as to how it would
take off.
Ahh you admit that you can do something other than searching for product
informatio n. You are making progress.
I'm a big gamer. I don't use a browser interface for it though.
and that is significant because....
It's not really. Other than a gaming client can do a much better job at
doing what it is designed to do. A broser isn't designed to transfer as
much information needed as fast as it's needed for gaming.
It's attitudes like yours that
perpetuate that kind of business. Like the rest of the sheep, you are
allowing business to do as they wish.
No, I show business how, and when to do it.
Even worse.
I'm not saying that you can't have games, music, or flash, all the stuff
you seem to want a browser to do. Just don't *expect* it in a
technology that isn't designed for it.
It is designed for it. You just don't like it.
If browsers were designed for flash, they wouldn't need a plug in to
display it. And that's right, I don't like the fact that people are
trying to control *my pc.* If you want to save some information, do it
on your machine, not mine. I keep all kinds of information on my pc
that is no one's business but mine. I'm not giving permission for
orthers to read or write files on my pc. Many of these technologies
that you and so many businesses seem to like so much allow that. I
fully intend to do my part in making it unprofitable. I'm not playing
the game of install every plug in and open my pc wide to whoever wants
it. You have one thing right about me. I don't like it.

We are in the infancy stage of Web based Television. As broadband

demand webcasts.

Oh of course there are better mediums for on line gaming, but sites
catering to kids, (nick.com, barbie.com etc...) flash based games are
more than adequate to brand the kids to a product. Remember the games
at such sites are really just a sly way to brand the kids.

Well in your opinion it is worse. The key is not HOW to do it, but WHEN
to do it. There is a right time (nick.com) and a wrong time
(google.com).
You have one thing right about me. I don't like it.
Then don't frequent the sites that use it, and the ones that uses it
that you have to go to, well complain to them about it. When enough
people complain, they (as I) will change.

That argument holds no water. If a future standard deprecates or
eliminates an element or attribute that you rely on you simply don't use
that future standard and stick with the current one.

That's exactly what I do. I ofen find something that I would like to
purchase but find that I cannot on line due to my privacy settings.
Sometimes I will just leave the site and forget about it, other times I
will email them that they have lost a customer, and still other times I
will call to order making it clear that it is a hassle and I'd rather
use their on line ordering if they would just fix it. It mostly depends
on how badly I want or need the item. Then sometimes, my mood comes
into play; I am a Gemini after all. ;) Unfortunately, as I've said,
there are too many sheep willing to go along with anything not realizing
what affect it has on the industry. I'm afraid that my complaints don't
mean much because of the numerous sheep.
