With Flash, the user or the developer has no choice if scroll and keyboard shortcuts break. With JS+HTML+CSS, the user has a choice to force the developer to fix their code (and a developer to not write code which breaks browser stuff).
- talmand 15y agoHow exactly does a user "force" a developer to fix their code when they use HS+HTML+CSS?
- gsa 15y agoAnswering both ThomPete and talmand here: In Flash, browser shortcuts like ^L are always broken and you have no choice about that, because that's the way Flash is designed. If a similar thing happens in a non-Flash environment, it's because the developer designed it so. If many users complain to the developer about stuff being broken, it has to count for something.
- ThomPete 15y agoNot enough to claim poor usability (which is btw, have nothing to do with)
- talmand 15y agoAgain, how do they "force" developers to fix their code? Asking nicely is one thing but forcing is another. You implied that the user has more control over the developer in a JS+HTML+CSS environment over Flash. Plus, if some commonly used commands are broken in Flash then it's broken in all of them which doesn't mean broken; it means unsupported, there's a difference.
