Well that flash thing at the top does get you attention in a hurry.
However, at least for me, the attention it gets is negative. However I
have seen some flash moving things on some major sites recently that
annoy me even more. When you move the cursor close to them, they
expand greatly to obscure much text, and start moving around. This
sort of excess is what gives flash a bad name. Perhaps the flash
motion on this page is about what you see if on one of the charter
jets and hit you rough air - and then rapidly reach for the barf
bag :-).
But there are also a few videos listed on the right side of the page.
These are wmv videos. They vary considerably in bit rate. At least you
have to click to start these videos.
Things get even more strange if you look at the source code and
validate. The W3C does not find a Doctype at the top of the page where
it belongs. However there is an html 4 Dctype way down on line 779(as
numbered by the W3C validator). How in the world it got there on the
1142 lines of source code, I will never know. Then another jewel is a
section of the code where <p> </p> is repeated 20 times, one line
after the other. The validator finds over 70 errors when validated as
html 4.01. The code seems to be the html equivalent of vegetable soup
- all sorts of versions of html mixed.
Surely a single person could not have written this code by hand. It
looks as if it might have been written and modified by several people,
perhaps over several years, and perhaps with the aid of one or more
Microsoft or other programs for writing html.
If the writers of this page charge by the lines of code, they likely
would get a very nice fee for this page.
