Hi I just came across a strange problem, and I would like to know, if it is a bug or not:

I just finished an online comic (hey, we even won the frankfurt book fair online comic prize :), check it out at http://www.sonatine.de/comic)
And since we use a bit of javascript I decided to test the site with all browsers and javascript disabled.
Now the javascript is not really needed for the site, but makes the experience a lot nicer, so we decided to let the visitor know that javascript should be enabled but should not be mandatory.
The problem is that Gecko powered browsers like Safari and Omniweb under MacOS X don't display the flash content without javascript ! Even if the html page doesn't contain one bit of javascript....

Now is this a bug or a new "feature" ????

Thanks for help.
