Here you will find a pure JavaScript and CSS (aka DHTML) implementation of Flickr’s flash badge widget. I wrote it because I wanted to customize the behavior of Flickr’s flash badge but was unable to, since I don’t have a flash editor and flash isn’t exactly customizable. So here it is — if you have JavaScript enabled, you should be able to see it running in the sidebar.

If you would like to use this DHTML Badge on your site, please let me know by adding your site to the comments of this page. I would also welcome any bug reports and/or feature suggestions. This is unsupported software and I make no guarantees about its functionality.
