Flash, MissingTag Summaries
FramesThese are works that use frames as main components for separating menus, images, buttons, and more.
Tables
This tag is given to works that utilize tables in an important way, such as for images or overlaying content.
Interactive Imagery
Though many of the works featured in The Progressive Dinner Party involve interactive imagery, some do more so than others. This includes works that place a greater focus on the visual aesthetics to communicate a message.
Area Maps
Though rarer, area maps is included as a tag because of the unique functionality it introduces, allowing users to hover over various spots on an image to access different hyperlinks.
GIFs
GIFs are used by works to introduce animations with technology other than software such as Adobe Flash or Shockwave.
High Interactivity
On occasion, a work will demand greater participation on the users part than average to experience the work.
JavaScript
On top of using HTML and CSS, JavaScript was oftentimes used to add more interesting functionality to a work.
Hypertext
This tag specifies works that focus on hyperlinking text as a way of communicating messages.
Macro Hypertext
This includes hypertexts that are unusually large, usually as a result of collaboration from one or more artists.
Slideshows
Artists on the web have many different methods of presentation at their disposal, which includes featuring their work as a slideshow.
Video
This is for works that include video components.
Audio
This is for works that include auditory components.
Page Refresh
Refreshing the page to redirect users to another is a fairly common practice among these web artists.
Linear
For works that are presented in a linear fashion.
Proprietary Software
Many of the works relied on software produced by companies. Though Adobe Flash and Shockwave are considered proprietary, they were unique and used often enough to justify separate tags.
Collaboration
This tag is applied to works that were produced by multiple artists.
Flash
Works that used Adobe Flash to produce animations or sounds were given this tag. Unfortunately, all support for Adobe Flash in modern web browsers will be dropped in December 2020.
Shockwave
This tag is applied to works utilizing Adobe Shockwave. Though support for Shockwave was dropped in April 2019, Shockwave plugins are still available for certain browsers.
Broken or Missing works
Unfortunately, not all of the works within The Progressive Dinner Party could be obtained. This was either because the work no longer functioned (such as Slattery’s Glide) or because contact could not be made with the author for missing files. When possible, an external link to the most complete version of the work was provided in the website.
