Very clever bit of code there! Well done.

Instead of 'images disabled' image holder put reference to your warning.

I read your warning (quickly) then saw the images disabled, then went back to it, it works

OK GUYS!!!

The erotic art is now online so knock your selves out....

the main issue i think i will have is that ppl might not notice that they have to enable the images... any suggestions on how to make it more obvious without being garish?

any feed back would be nice...

Cheers Guys!

If javascript is disabled the images just wont appear which I think is the safest option.

Do many people not run javascript?

Anyway, fingers crossed it works out and thanks again for your input... ^_^

That looks good to me! (Opera 8.51/Win2K)

Even if the JS doesn't work I guess you've still got a warning. Some of those are pretty suggestive!

As long as there is a warning, your a/ok

Good Job, but some may raise a compatibility question regarding the use of javascript on pages, I can see that you use javascript controls to chang stylesheets... Your positioning of the link and warning is pretty appropriate...

I completely agree... the simpler the better.

I've been working on a page to test if my idea would work and ive tried it in Opera Netscape and IE6. Looks like it is working, but could you guys check to see if it works on your computers?

Test Page

Basically the page will first load without the thumbnail images but you see the "Active/Disable" links? clicking those will switch the style sheets so that the images become active.

Still needs editing so that it warns of adult content but it looks practical.

I didnt want to have to put a warning on every link going to the erotic pages.

A lot of the alchohol companies make you put in your date of birth before entering the main website. I know it's easy to get round but at least this is a sign of responsibility.

I found this Javascript (do a find on date of birth) which might give you a clue on how to do it:

And right, pop-ins, Javascript prompts etc are very annoying. Personally I'd put a subtle but unmissable warning somewhere - just plain text, vanilla HTML so no-one has a technical excuse for missing it - like next to the link to the gallery page.

Never heard of the KISS rule; I find that quite funny!!!
