If you hard code a space into the cached HTML, there will be no way to turn off the banner via cookies. You'd have the opposite problem, a blank space would appear and then disappear after a few seconds. Maybe we could have a <script> tag in the <head> that modifies the relevant stylesheet rules based on cookies present. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
