I was reluctant to use PHP (though in my example it would actually be an improvement, this is true) because I wanted a quote generator which wouldn’t require the whole page to be reloaded every time you wanted a new quote. (my rural home still has no broadband, and therefore have extreme loading-time-paranoia)

On a mildly-related note: you may have pressed “view source” on KTAB and discovered it’s all tables (yuck). I learnt HTML at some unspecified point, and I think the website from which I learnt it taught me that frames and tables were lovely. I’m currently grappling with the lovely-but-totally-counter-intuitive-for-a-tables-boy CSS2. Can you help me on either:

1.) Can you tell something to either go to the bottom of the browser window or, if there’s more content than window height, to go to the bottom of the content?
a) On this page the copyright notice currently sits just underneath the end of the content
b) Whereas on this page,there’s lots of content, it goes to the bottom
– but it’s bad, coz I want it to be at the bottom of the browser window in scenario a)

2.) Is there any way to make a div a percentage of a width other than that of the window wide? Ie 33% of the width that remains after putting in a fixed-width menu bar? This is as far as I got. The two pastel columns on the right, with “story goes here” and “right-hand content” in them, need to be 67% and 33% of the width right of the 128-pixel menu bar. Like KTAB News at the moment, but flexible.

Pleased to “meet” you, too! I might see you in Aber, should I visit JTA this year… Incidentally, didn’t you graduate? And if so, what are you doing still in Aber?!
