| 1118920 | 2010-07-15 04:47:00 | Just been using Post Haste Courier's website (www.posthaste.co.nz) to do a track & trace, and I see all the form heading elements in it are .swf objects. Why would one design a site in such a way? The elements don't appear to be animated in any way, and most fancy form-based sites I've seen recently use CSS to do the heavy lifting? |

| 1118922 | 2010-07-15 05:24:00 | Looks like javascript to me. Yeah, it is, but the objects all share the same heading: www.posthaste.co.nz |

| 1118924 | 2010-07-15 06:32:00 | One of the more common reasons for doing that is to use custom fonts on a webpage, where the font may not be installed on the client system. The flash object does the rendering, and the javascript tells it what to render. | Erayd (23) | ||
