[CLUE-Tech] PHP or CSS question

Sat Nov 17 23:47:23 MST 2001

Yeah, for example, I would put something like this in my footer:

<center>
<hr noshade width=85%>
<TABLE border="0">
<TR>
<TD align="right">
 <A href="http://www.fimble.com">
<IMG src="http://www.fimble.com/smallicon.jpg" border="0"></A>
    </TD>
    <TD><FONT size="-1">
        <EM>Please forward your comments to
        <A href="mailto:support at fimble.com">Fimble</A>.</EM>
        <BR>

        </FONT>
    </TD>
 <TD><A href="http://www.fimble.com">
<IMG src="http://www.fimble.com/smallicon.jpg" border="0"></A></TD>
</TABLE>

Then, I usually stick the </body> and the </html> in there so I don't
have to insert those tags on all my pages, but it's up to you.
