Yikes! That's awful. Off the top of my head I can't remember
what NXP does. After visiting the web site, I still don't
know. With a web site like that, I'm pretty sure I never will.

When I go there, it's not so bad. I get:

"To view this page you need javascript to be enabled and Flash player
7 or higher installed.

You can go directly to The New NXP Semiconductors Website"

Which is www.nxp.com, and it's not a bad site, at least on a quick
look around.

Get Firefox and the Flashblock addon :-)

That's what I'm running. All I see initially is a blank page
with a large empty frame and a "play" button. There's no
option on that first page to skip the annoying flash stuff.

Odd. I get a fairly normal corporate page, but with a JS dialogue box
inviting me to submit my mobile phone number to win an iPod. Bottom left
of the page is a "skip all" button, which works.

There's a "skip" link there before you hit flashblocker's
"play" button?

There's nothing until I hit the "play" button -- then I get the
pop up asking for my mobile number (as if I'm giving that to
them). There's a "skip all" button on that flash page, but the
first time I click it, it just brings me back to the same page
asking me for my mobile number. The second time I click it, it
takes me to some horrible animated menu tree thingy that
responds so slowly to mouse movement that it's really annoying.

Do people at companys like that really have no clue what sort
of web site engineers like to use?
