Replace flash with HTML 5, CSS and Javascript

Flash is a powerful tool for implementation of multimedia applications. It has been used for several year for implementation of animated content for web sites, but it is still not embedded in any operating system or web browser. It is always installed separately. This fact makes it difficult for novice users to navigate in flash sites.

The old time classic solution for this issue is to create two versions of the web site. One that uses the power of flash in order to provide a more fancy user interface and another that uses plain html. But today we have a better version of HTML (ver 5), CSS and JavaScript! The new versions let us make fancy sites without using flash!

For instance if we would like to create a slide show, then we can use the jQuery Circle Plug-in. If you need auto-complete fields for forms then you can use a component that you can find at jQuery Autocomplete Plugin. Or you can add validation to your forms using the jQuery AjaxForm Plugin... and much much more that you can find in jQuery.

If you need any help then leave a comment or send me an email [g.anagnostaros@gmail.com] and I will answer as soon as possible!
