Hmm... not really an option here. It needs to have the potential to appear on any page, so that if someone finds an internal page through Google or gets a link sent to them by a friend, they still see the disclaimer / warning. At the moment I've sort of solved the problem for users with JS - if

Depending on what/whether you're using anything server side, just set a session variable that records whether the person has agreed to the terms, do this across every page and no worries for Google or any other entry that doesn't come from the front page. regards Luke Seona Bellamy wrote:

What, and divert them to the agreement page if they'rve not agreed? Hmm... not sure that I'll get the go-ahead to do that. We're working to some fairly tight design requirements. I've already got it saving the session variable once they agree, so that they only get bothered once. Cheers, Seona.

That's already what I'm doing. Not the problem here, though. The issue isn't whether the overlay and disclaimer appear - I have that bit working just fine. The issue is making the overlay extend all the way to the bottom of the page if the page is longer than the viewport. Cheers, Seona.

True. I'm already doing that via JS, so at least the majority of people will not see an ugly cut-off with the page showing normally beneath it. It would be nicer to have a non-JS solution, though. I mean, even though scrolling down and clicking a link in the footer won't help them bypass the
