[thelist] best html & css sites

[Toby]

I totally agree, I believe flash has come a long way as well, alternative
content for SEO, compatibility with analytics (easy really), solving most of
the problems AJAX sites now encounter now also... And if you know what
you're doing in flash you can pretty much do whatever you want.

In some cases I believe a flash site is the perfect tool for the job.

Hmm, and I said I didn’t want to enter a debate about flash sites...

Cmon, lets get linkdup with cutting edge standard compliant html/css/js
websites! ;¬]

Not generally true. If you add enough alternative text then all is
fine. Actually any time you use music or video, Flash is a great
thing.

Flash has come a long way and with Flex we have a real rich interface
that can for example work with assistive technology with us having to
simulate keyboard access. Generalizations like "only good for" are not
helping those flash developers who want to alter the idea of flash as
a funky movie tool.

agreed.

All depends on the implementation.
