Huh, you're right, there is Java in there - I had no idea, it looked like simple image files. Couple questions for more savvy people -

1. Why would the author do that for static images?

2. Is there any way I can see that going forwards to warn people? I'm running Chrome/Win7, and didn't even notice.

I looked up the source and there it is -

<P><CENTER> <APPLET CODE=hoteling1 HEIGHT=100 WIDTH=400></APPLET>

</CENTER>

But it really makes no sense why the author would do that - it's just a straightforward, somewhat boring image. Thoughts?

Perhaps it was an attempt to stop people from "stealing" his images.. or perhaps the author just doesn't know any better...

We should probably apply Hanlon's razor "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." and assume he doesn't understand progressive enhancement

They're quite valuable images. I'm going to steal them for my myspace page.

Perhaps it's supposed to be interactive .. interestingly I did try and move the spots but then conccluded that it was just an image. Maybe it's a public beta ;0)>
