    my homepage is javascript heavy. it's a photographer's website, so there are lots of rollover images. can someone point me to a good discourse on using .js files to replace the javascript?

    which brings me to my next subject. my newest website has flash opening (just currently the thing in the photo trade). what problems is that going to cause me, and how can i get around them?

    thanks

    david

    Take everything that is currently between a <script> ... </script> tag pair, and put it in a text file called whatever.js noting it must be a TEXT file, NOT Word, or RTF, or somesuch. Save the file to disk.

    Modify the <script> tag itself to say <script type="text/javascript" src="whatever.js"> and leave the </script> tag alone. Save the HTML file to disk.

    Upload both of the files to your server, and test the page out. Run the pages through http://validator.w3.org/detailed.html for a list of other code that needs cleaning up too.


    For pages containing Flash, you need a normal HTML "Skip Flash" clickable link so that people without Flash can still get into the content part of your site.

    thanks for the help on the .js file. i'll try it tonite.

    i have the link to avoid the flash intro -- some people dont like to wait around to watch it either -- esp. not the 5th time they've been to a site. but is there anything i can do to optimize a flash intro page? they dont have much on them except the reference to the .swf file.

    How about a paragraph of text above or below the flash animation that describes something about the site; text that is visible to humans and to search engines alike?

    Google will read text (vector based) in flash files. To see for yourself, type in "any keyword filetype:swf" (without the quotes). Google will return only flash files it has indexed. Just get your keywords into the flash file as text. And optimize your page title, meta tags and links pointing to the page.
