deconstructing a site.. ethics.. can I ask?

I've seen a website I am curious about.  It obviously contains sophisticated things.. javascript navigation, a flash movie, etc.   I'm curious about how it was all put together, but not sure it's ethical to name a site and say "how'd they do that"..  I have a good idea in some parts and questions about other parts.  Looking for advice so I can advance with my learning.

ok.. perhaps i'll email the webmaster (if I can figure out who that is).   On the site in question there are clearly external css links which i'll likely never see, and they involve the navigation, which in turn propels flash movies on the right.  

I'm not a programmer, and I always seem to come to a halt when I look at the coding (much I which i myself have produced on my own using dreamweaver and/or flash or fireworks..etc... that is: the program did it for me )   I'm left wondering "do they know something I don't?  or did they just set about with an idea and viola there's the code and I simply can't follow the reasoning?"  

Of course some *are* programmers and code genius'  but I just want some explanations so I can decide if I can or cannot do something like it!   Thank you for your helpful comments.
