What is this web technology?

I have noticed lately a new form of animated advertising on many websites. It appears that the advertisment is somehow able to "reach out" past its borders and project animated objects across the whole page. In one ad, a laptop computer went flying all across the page before settling upon the ad's banner. In other ads, it's only the size of the ad that reaches across the page, and then the ad shrinks back to a smaller size. Is this good ol' Flash, or something new?

It's good old HTML and JavaScript. Probably a Flash object inside a DIV which then has JavaScript moving it about. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

It's annoying. I find myself getting angry with the rude advertisers who see fit to interfer with my ability to see what I'm trying to see. Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power Eric Hoffer All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing. Edmund Burke

Before we slam the 'rude advertisers' too much, keep in mind, the site you are viewing data at is being PAID by the advertisers, which in turn allows them to present the data. We all like to think of the Internet as a space for free exchange of data, but, someone has to pay for it...

I often wondered how CP was paid for. I find it hard to believe that the adverts really pay enough, but there you go.

I agree. It usually covers up what I am trying to get to and so I have to wait until it goes away. If I click on it (either the "close" is barely visible or not there at all), I go to that website. :mad: Is there a setting to disable this?

My wife updates a local news website. The first thing she installed was an ad blocker so she could double check her posts without having to put up with all the ads.

Which is not an excuse for being intrusive. This site for example has many ads. I usally notice them and might at times be interested in their products. None of these ads, however, finds it necessary to block the view of the posts and articles that are the reason I come here.

Keep in mind that the site operator/owner permits this practice. For me, that's sufficient reason to never do business with either the advertiser, or the company that allows them on their site. "...a photo album is like Life, but flat and stuck to pages." - Shog9

As long as companies have no moral problems trampling all over my browser, I will have no moral problems with using an ad blocker. I only block ads that flash, gyrate or otherwise intrude. If the thing makes sound, I'll block it then e-mail the site administrator that I have done so. If their loss of ad revenue means the site shuts down, I'll find somewhere else and won't shed a tear. It's my browser, and I'm keeping it that way.

Oh, maybe just something my adblock filter blocked out... From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: "Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled 'For The Sick,' is for monetary donations only."
