Under I.E. 4.0, you actually do get an animated ad - it's a long vertical format ad with a couple of sheets of the paper towell unrolled. Some text flashes-up on the unrolled sheets. Under Netscape 4.5, you just get a horizontal format GIF, but you still have to suffer the delay of Java loading. I examined the HTML for the MSIE version of the ad, and it consists of some fairly simple Javascript, using Dynamic HTML features. When using Netscpae 4.5, you just get the GIF file, so there was no HTML to examine. Anybody can do this, and do it better. Go out and get a good book on Javascript, and you can do this too. To do what they are doing, (serve the GIF for Netscape, the Javascript for MSIE) you do need a small amount of software on the server side to examine the HTTP-User-Agent string and serve different content depending on the browser. But why do what they have done? You can do it better. It's possible to do the stuff that they are doing with MSIE for Netscape too. So, why didn't THEY do it? The Javascript to do this is somewhat different between MSIE and Netscape, but this can be easily handled using a compatability library. Here's an excellent one that I use, IMO the best that I have seen, and it's free. It's an ongoing cooperative development, with users contributing new ideas and code. (I have contributed code to this project.) dansteinman.com Check out the very cool demos at the bottom of the page! I particularly like the bumble bee that follows the flower (drag the flower with your mouse). StarThruster 2000 is about as outrageous as you can get in JavaScript - an amazing feat!
