    I didn't look becuase it started making a sound...

    You should *always* turn sounds off by default...

    It's an instant turnoff and I won't look at sites that hijack my music listening pleasure ;)

    Take it off and I'll have a look. :)

    Agreed. I had to hit the back button right away because of the [unwanted] audio.

    Yeah, no one likes being ambush. And what if I'm at work trying to steal some Internet time while my boss is trolling about beyond my cubicle? Just a thought.

    Well the client requested sound, but otherwise what do you think.

    Honestly, I'm not looking 'till the sound is gone...

    You should tell the client that sound will cause a drastic reduction in visitor retention numbers...

    Good luck convincing them of that. I have about as much success rate with that as I do with Flash... They just won't listen.
