Flash Satay resurgence

I’ve had a lot of correspondence today regarding Flash Satay and in particular the poll (Zeldman linked to it, so go figure). It seems that there’s loads of people out there willing/wanting/hoping to find a complete solution to the Flash/XHTML problem. That means people care. Do you hear that Microsoft? Hear that Macromedia? Hear that everyone? Real-life feet-on-the-ground web developers care about web standards. I’ll rephrase. Your customers care about web standards. Hah!

On a completely different note, I just bought a bag. Can’t wait for it to arrive. Mmm new stuff.

You bought a bag from australia?? How long will that take to arrive and how much tax will they slap on it when it lands on our sunny shores.

I once bought a tee-shirt from Shift (a japanese design site) and was rather alarmed when my credit card bill arrived! Its still my favourite tee tho.

No, I bought it from MicroWhorehouse.

Crumpler are AUS based, but are distributed (I belive) all over the world.

I think you’re right Dave, that would have been a lot of fun :-)

(Unfortunately, factor in the trip from the UK, and the advantages are somewhat outweighed!)

Seriously? You’d let the name of a bag put you off buying it? Wow.

I kinda like the goofy names. It’s all part of the Crumpler brand.

Happy to hear the bag arrived and is behaving itself.

In future send us brown ale and we’ll send you bags

Enjoy

Thank-you for the assistance offered in the Satay piece.

I recently read about impending changes to Microsoft IE, necessitating a workaround to avoid an alert each time the browser is fed a piece of active or dynamic content.

Are you familiar with this article, or situation? Do you think the JavaScript suggested is satisfactory? Do you have a preferred method?

I’d appreciate knowing your opinion on this, though the solution is not immediately required.

Thank you in advance,
