Weird affect on DX objects from a visit to a Website

Can anyone else reproduce this:

I visited the site: http://www.iconmag.co.uk/cancer_breast2.htm

and all the DX objects on my desktop started flashing. WEIRD or what?

I don't have DX running but it is making Rainy flash like crazy. I'm on FireFox Browser. I guess I better check my settings for Active X

I think most of what you're experiencing is probably related to the macromedia flash in the header and other related java applets/scripts that the site refers to. Firefox doesn't support ActiveX.

Yeah, I just found out that!

It still did the flashing thing. And yes, sometimes java applets do that.

At least it wasn't just me, but I did wonder what was causing it.

I think it is definitely the java applets causing that..
