I've tried to get to their website several times in the last several months http://www.wildthingsgear.com/

No problem. You just need the Bouchard password, "icanclimbthat".

All the pages are in Macromedia Flash. So if you don't have that installed, you can't view the site.

No worky here, Firefox 1.5.0.9. In case anyone from Wild Gear is reading this....

Looked at the source code: All I had was a table whose rows seemed to be trying to load and play a couple of flash movies and another that wanted to load some "help center" code with more flash stuff.

What really stuck out at me was that the second DIV was contained withing the body of the first. I.e., it looked like this:

div
[...]
div
[...]
/div
[...]
/div

I'm no HTML4 expert, but I thought putting DIV elements inside of DIV elements was a no-no. Like I said, I'm no expert and I have more urgent things to do than to go to http://www.w3c.org/TR/html4 and start reading. :-)

Edit: Had to leave off the angle-brackets to get it past the badness-filter.
