Hi,,,
CSS DISCUSS!!!
I've never had a personal response from the CSS-d list like this
before. It's hysterical. In my defence I will refer to the very first
sentence that sparked this (but remember to read the response.).
> I have been handed a couple of amends to do on this website
CB :-)

> javascript, and b) the blinking phone number - which I'll address in
> a minute. The iPad has a bunch of people talking about Apple's
> failure to include Flash support. Whether one agrees or disagrees,
> one thing comes up in a lot of those conversations. That is the
> ability of HTML and other, more accessible tools, to do much of what
> Flash is used for. This is a good example.

> 2) The blinking phone number really is not much different than the
> old <blink> tag in HTML. It's popularity fell out of use for good
> reason. Such presentation of content is considered annoying by
> many. My own opinion as a user is that I agree. That one feature
> alone would be the thing that would make me quickly leave the site.
> I think it's a much more professional approach to not have blinking
> text, essentially screaming at the potential customer.
