Flash header

Chroder

I don't like it. Every page load it flashes and moves, very annoying. :x

Python

lol, maybe i can find a way so that it only loads once on the first visit or something!

pfgannon

SEbasic

rallyfan

we should have a poll.

Its nice and all but its not doing anything...
For example, if you had a Nav bar in it the it would be usefull. but all it is now is an animated banner... lol
You can easily make it so it only moves around on the home page. Make a new verion of the flash file where it doesnt move It is already in its final position and use that file on all pages except the homepage hehe

Python

i might try to implement some sort of navigation into it. but then theres the problem what if people havent got flash player installed...they wont be able to navigate using the top header

CannonBallGuy

Who doesnt have it installed? lol.

Python

well there are some people. but then considering that this is a webmaster/developing site im pretty sure that almost all webdesigner will have it.

maybe i could set up a bit of javascript which checks if the visitor has flash, if yes it would load up the flash header, if no it would load up a html nav :idea:

pfgannon

the only time i havent had it installed is whenever i get a new PC

CannonBallGuy

Yep go for it.

SEbasic

NOOOOOOOOO!

Visit Jakob Nielson's site on web accessibility.

It goes in to a lot of detail into how important it is to have a well designed site, with a plain HTML navigation. The reason for this, is if any blind or sight-impared people visit the site, the reader can't 'read' the copy on page. Because there is none.

Please don't!!!

:shock:

:!:

:?

It's REAL important to have HTML navigation in place.

rallyfan

ye i did'nt think about things like that.

all im saying is that i like flash because its catchy.

Python

ok ok. then i wont do flash navigation, lol

SEbasic
