*sigh*

Red Hat's Fedora Core 3 doesn't ship with Flash installed, but Red
Hat's magazine uses it.

To make matters worse, Red Hat's Fedora Core 3 ships with Firefox as
it's default browser (presumably for the must-have "Open in new tab"
feature), but the Red Hat website uses Flash for articles links,
preventing readers using "open in new tab".

Example:
 Every heading down the centre column of the front page.

Any chance the heading can show in the <title> too?

Content is excellent btw.

Comment 2 Tammy Fox 2004-12-01 02:16:18 UTC
Rob changed the links to be included in the text instead of the
article title to fix the "open in a new tab" problem. The magazine
site does utilize Flash if it is installed, but if Flash is not
installed, the article titles are treated as H1 elements.

I don't quite understand your second question. Which headings are you
refering to. Perhaps a location would help clarify.

> Every heading down the centre column of the front page.

The headings that link to the articles aren't "open in new tab"-able.
