I posted the Get Firefox Ribbon hack the other day and it has been very popular ever since especially on European sites - hello Italy, Sweden and Germany!There have however been a few people who didn't like me 'stealing' from a charity or dissing people for using a less 'geeky' browser. That plus the original graphic was very ropey indeed.
I've written this little code generator to generate the banner code for you but this time it gives you the choice of the official Firefox banners, allows you to choose which of the four corners of the screen to display the image in and also lets you add your affiliate number for referral tracking. Because it uses the Firefox banners it should relieve Hypersloth of his bandwidth drain since he started hosting the original image for us.
So you now get a well designed Firefox Banner of your choice, in the corner of your choice, without screwing your page layout and it's only downloaded and displayed for IE users - no extra wait for any other browser at all. Result.

There is always one miserable bugger who likes to moan about something or anything.
I think we need a "Blogger Hacks" box in the sidebar.
Nice postage. :)
If we had a hacks box I'd feel pressured to do the comment count write up. ;)
Incidentally there is a comment count how to in Blogger Hacks section now - but I know where it's going to break. Probably. ;)
I really should do that write up!
There's always two....
For real hip, coolness you need to accessorise with more colours. Bracelets are the new ribbon.
The only downside is that if you scroll the page the banner moves with the page UNTIL you hover over the banner at which point it hops back to the original page location (ie if you place it at the bottom and then scroll up, the button moves to the middle. You go to click on it and it moves out of the way back to the bottom of the screen - a bit annoying.
