No, it doesn't. > viewer still work when you disable or remove Adobe Flash ? Yes, it does. Google uses AJAX, with lots of DHTML and JavaScript. You need a browser that supports current web standards. (I use Firefox.) You don't need Flash. (If you are on a mobile platform like an iPad, you don't *have* Flash. It's not supported on the platform.) >> There is an assortment of web content that _requires_ flash > > Isn't the Google document viewer among them ? AFAIK It is not. Look stuff up. > the good old Google's PDFtoHTML converter is now dead :-( I have other ways to do that, and don't believe I ever used Google's. I don't know what you think PDF might have to do with flash, however, other than both coming from Adobe. >> notably sites concerned with art and design > > not only :-( Agreed, many sites use flash that don't need to, and even some that arguably need to use it badly. But I'm a designer turned computer geek, have a number of volumes in my library on art, architecture, design, photography, and typography, and visit art and design sites that *do* use flash effectively. >> And while HTML5 offers hope down the road, an awful lot >> of video is still handled by flash > > Indeed :-( ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
