You do realize that all the cool stuff in HTML5 is done with DOM coding, right? The new proposed HTML5 recommend date is 2022, ten years down the road HTML5 may be viable.

And hopefully the next version of Dreamweaver will support HTML5 as well. Lots to look forward to! :) I’m sure that LVS will be teaching HTML5.

HTML 5 sounds very interesting. I'm guessing there will be new classes available at LVS? Now all I need is the time to take them. :D I knew that eventually there would be an HTML 5 (I learned HTML 4), but since I haven’t been keeping up with this stuff (too busy with graphics programs), I didn’t know what was coming down the road.

I think that Flash has its uses, but more often than not, it creates usability issues. I also choose HTML over Flash whenever I have that option. I'm very excited about HTML5 and hope we'll see it being used more and more and Flash less and less. Viki Hi Nightshadow,

I completely agree with you. I think that Flash has its uses, but more often than not, it creates usability issues. I also choose HTML over Flash whenever I have that option. I’m very excited about HTML5 and hope we’ll see it being used more and more and Flash less and less.

Even though I now have broadband (well, sort of...it's a lower tier DSL connection), it still takes a long time to download. Also, I don't find it to be user-friendly, especially when I'm trying to look at the sales flyers for my local stores and make a shopping list. If the site gives me a choice between viewing in HTML and viewing in Flash, I always opt for HTML Why is that? With Firefox and HTML, I can right-click on any of the sale items and open them in a new tab. Meanwhile, I still have the sale flyer on my first open tab. I can continue going back and forth this way until I'm finished browsing. On sites where only Flash is available, whenever I want more info on a certain sale item, I have to click on it, go to a new page, and then go back to where I was before. On some site, each time I return, I'm taken to the beginning of the sale flyer. This is incredibly frustrating, annoying, and a waste of my time. I for one will be happy if Flash disappeared forever.
