Thank you Dogscoff. I wasn't too sure on uploading yours as i didn't want to take traffic from your site. I'll Maybe post a piece with little snippets of your fiction and then a big link at the bottom of the page

Maybe you could rip the code from the quote-o-matic and use it as a banner..? That would be cool.

:EDIT: I think the following code ought to do it. Probably. More or less. Ish.

code:

---

include the following statement INSIDE you body tag: onLoad="quote_from_dogscoff();" - not sure what to do if you already use your onLoad.



Then put the following just after the body tag:



<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" SRC="http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/extern.js"></script>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" SRC="http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/ge....js"></script>



function quote_from_dogscoff()

{ // grabs a random file from dogscoff's quote-o-matic and dumps it to the frame with the ID "quote-o-matic". 

var quote_frame=getElementById("quote-o-matic");

var quote_count=Get_var('sci_fi_quote_count',0);

var stem="http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/quotes/fic";

var file_extension=".htm";

quote_frame.location.href=stem+getindex(quote_coun  t)+file_extension;

}







Now create a frame in your page (an Iframe might be easiest) and give it the ID "quote-o-matic". Frame must be exactly 100 pixels high and at least a few hundred wide.





Add the following lines to your stylesheet (although I dont mind you changing the details & image to suit your own page) : 



body.quote{background-image: url(http://www.dogscoff.co.uk/fiction/im...iquoteleft.jpg); font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; background-color: #ffffff; background-attachment: fixed; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: top left; font-size: 80%; color: #0A0A0A;}



p.quote{font-style: italic;}

a.quote{color: #56D9E1;}

strong{font-size: 120%; color: #0A0A0A; font-style: normal;}



#quotetext {left: 100px; position: absolute; font-style: italic;}
