That site is using a Flash app.

Possibly it uses separate images for each bird color (each with a transparent background) that are placed in a DIV element with different background-color. The actual color pickers can be created with javascript (in this case they seem to be from the jQuery library).

It actually works without Flash too.

Come again? It does work in my browser with Flash disabled. When I enable Flash it turns into a Flash application, though (progressive enhancement?).

When I disable flash the whole page changes and everything flash is gone.

There are other, less expensive, programs but I don't know how capable they are.

Yes but the product color selection still works, at least in Opera and MSIE. Edit: and Safari.

The non Flash part is hidden by the Flash object. Flash is disabled by default in my Safari, clicking on it enables it.
I had to hide the Flash object and set the #product_infos div to display: block; with the Web Inspector for the whole thing to show and work.

That must be a Safari/Mac quirk. My Safari/Win shows the non-Flash version when plugins are disabled.

Maybe it's a Safari 4 issue. I don't have Safari 5, with its extensions/plugins, as I'm still on Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11).

Not for me since the flash color picker as well as the product is gone.

Might be due to the Flashblock function in that obscure browser you're using. When I enable Flashblock in my K-Meleon everything disappears too.

So what flash blocker do you use and what happens?
Posted by: pandy Dec 10 2010, 10:11 AM
OK, with IE and FlashSwitch I also get alternate content. I notice they use conditional comments. Maybe K-Mel never gets the alternate content. Too much going on there for me to want to try to untangle it.

With Opera I just disable plugins.
