Thanks for the compliment! I actually can't take credit for the design - the
client created it. She had originally created the entire website in Flash
(and she is a newbie to Flash), but it wasn't working correctly. After she
consulted with me, we came up with this solution.
On the banner the lettering "Stone Theater" is white (
http://elizabethfarley.web.officelive.com/StoneTheater/media/banner.gif), so
printing on a white background renders the lettering nearly invisible.
Rather than print on a black background and make the user waste ink, I want
to substitute an alternate banner (
http://elizabethfarley.web.officelive.com/StoneTheater/media/banner-print.gif)
Is this possible using css?
Also, you might have misunderstood my second question - I wanted the URL to
show up (ie:
http://elizabethfarley.web.officelive.com/StoneTheater/index.html) to show
up at the bottom of the page. Wondered if anyone could point me to the
right direction for the coding....
Thanks for the help!
