Flash Sucks!!!  
Or rather the Internet Explorer sucks. Or maybe it's Microshit!!!!

Well..as it seems, a company called Eola got a patent on active x elements. IE is playing them automatically without permission and Eola sued. And won.

So now flash won't start automatically in IE anymore and you got this fugly roleover you have to click before it starts“. Ah crap.

And IE is the browser that about 80% of the people still use.

WTF. This sucks truly. I wonder how many less Flash designs will be built because of this.

Yeah that does suck. I'm thinking about doing my website in flash because you know that'd be fun, but it's true that it complicates matters. *sigh*

Firefox is much better anyway. At least I think so. Couldn't live without my thumbnail nav. Or can you do that now in IE too?

I'm just not uvery used to firefox..which is sad... but work is changing that I think.

Thumbnailnav?
[identity profile] newkidfan.livejournal.com on April 20th, 2006 12:00 pm (UTC)
Well I think it's called a thumbnail. My browser is installed in french so it's called "onglet" but the logical translation would be thumbnail.

*goes to check official sources*

Sorry it's called tabbed browsing: basically it means you can open several pages within the same window. See here:

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/tabs.html

I used to use IE all the time before, but now, I wouldn't give up Firefox. Really much better. No pop ups. No viruses. Friendlier look. Yeah.

Oh you mean Tabs!!! I know those... it's practical when you have lots of windows opened.

and I just need to get used to Firefox.
