Simplest is to put it into a frame or IFrame, by means of a bit of javascript called by an onLoad event.
javascript is evil. moreover, this won't work if someone browses the site with e.g. lynx.
I do not agree about javascript being evil - depends on how you use it, of course. lynx will not work for any web site that has graphics or anything else, so this would limit your use of other sites quite a bit. Is that your intention? Anyway, lynx does not support IFrames, does it? So supporting lynx would rule out any frame-based apporaches. Of course, some people think frames are evil, as well, and probably with more justification.
i don't believe in anything-client-side.
Thin client, thick head? (Sorry, couldn't resist, meant no offense). Cheers, Tom P

i make it a general rule to support lynx, which is why i believe in server-side. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:" net@madduck keyserver problems? http://keyserver.kjsl.com/~jharris/keyserver.html get my key here: http://madduck.net/me/gpg/publickey if con is the opposite of pro, is congress the opposite of progress?
