Making the text wrap under the ads wouldn't be *that* big of a deal |
45 |
actually. It would just take me some time to set it up and then test |
46 |
test test on all the various browsers. I could make it work within a few |
47 |
hours if you really wanted me too but only if you *really* wanted me too. |

Making the div completely disappear would also not be that big of a |
50 |
deal, other than the javascript thing of course. |

By the way, if you view any page as printable either by clicking the |
53 |
print icon on doc pages or simply by appending ?style=printable to any |
54 |
page you get no ads at all. The entire site can be browsed this way. You |
55 |
lose the menus though. The version of the handbook that is distributed |
56 |
on liveCD's uses the text version. Not that this is an answer to your |
57 |
question, just saying. |
