Very nice article, i really admitted that in developing site i prefer to tables but after i learn on css div are now the best and it’s faster to load rather than tables…

Agree,
Google and other search engines can easily read flash now. It is also very easy to spoof content to them as well (this is allowed by google and is not SEO dark magic). The worst part of flash is linking to individual pages. 99% of flash sites do not do this properly. How am i expected to make a page using a bookmark if the bookmark just sends me to the homepage.

Well, I used to make sites in tables and/or frames.
Tables were quite easy to make. To make layout etc… to maintain, it was okay for a small site I had.

And it didn’t have to be dynamic in layout because I wasn’t planning to change layout often ’cause I had a good one.

Now I’m learning DIV stuff and CSS things… Quite nice, less html code… but a lot of CSS code.
And totally not cross-browser. Always problems with one of the 3 I try (FireFox, IE, Opera).
But I don’t give up at the moment… I try to find the good CSS style to make it right for all browsers… Maybe impossible, but I don’t give up so fast. I hope it’s worth the time I spent.

Cheers!
Nice articles!

Good artical, I quite agree with what you say! Especially the one about learning CSS and making flash websites. I thought CSS would be hard to learn, but once I started it was so easy! :) Much eaiser than tables in my oppinion.

Great article. However, some search engines can read flash (like Google), but they can’t figure out semanthics at all.

Furthermore, even though Google fetches the correct wording it can’t lead you to a specific page inside the Flash movie.

In other words, you are 100% right in your oppinion. :)
