You're not honestly suggesting that developers start using flash to render their body content, are you?
Besides the copy/paste argument that people have already mentioned (yes, I know there is a "solution"). It's also inaccessible, takes longer to render and relies on a 3rd party product to render your website how you intended.
I know you'll probably say "give search engines and accessible-concerned folks a text version", but who honestly wants to maintain two different sets of code for ALL body content? And all just so the text looks a little better? Why not just tell everybody to use Safari/Mac?
- briansmith 17y agoAdobe has done a lot of work to make Flash "accessible," if the artist is willing to put some effort into it. And, once you make it "accessible," search engines (at least Google) will be able to index it. Safari/Mac (really, any web browser) is a horrible for typesetting. If you need a whole document to be predictable typeset, please give me a PDF. If you don't need it to be typeset perfectly, please give me HTML.
