TD NETWORK Guidelines
General Specifications
•
Audio must be user click-initiated by it’s own On/Off switch and never automatic. If mouse over is used, the
sound can only start when the user hovers on the creative and stop when the mouse is no longer upon the
creative. A sound icon must always be present in the creative.
•
Click destination URL must open into a new browser.
•
Use animation carefully: Keep animation smooth and fluid, using slow motions and gentle fades. Fast or
abrupt motion is highly irritating. Avoid experiences that 'break -through' the page or abuse the content.
o
•
Best practice: Animation limited to the first 15 seconds, looping unlimited within 15 seconds.
Best practice: Creative must feature a 1 pixel border (gray [#666666] or black recommended, though any
color that clearly distinguishes the ad from the content may be used).
•
Expandable creatives must have a visible close button.
•
Banner Expansion must be user initiated.
Flash requirements
•
Currently only ActionScript 2 is compatible with Thinkdigital Network sites.
Flash files can only have 1 click through link
The clicktag must be hard-coded into the Flash ad before the ad is compiled into an SWF
file.
• Flash creatives must be clicktag compatible. The ad must have the following code included in its action
for each clickable area of the ad:
•
•
on (release) {
getURL(clickTAG, "_blank");
}

HTML requirements
•
•
•
File format can either be HTML or TXT
For ad code from another ad server, file must be third party click tracking enabled
All DHTML creative submissions must have an accompanying default graphic that is shown to users who do not
have IE 4.0 or higher
Rich Media requirements
•
Special attention: Rich media creatives (i.e. expandable banners, in-banner video ads e.t.c.) must be Flash based
creatives launched from a Javascript-based, third party tag.
