Re: [Foundation-l] Alternating sitenotices is kinda confusing

I don't think that's true... The id is centralNotice. Hiding that id with css works if you add it to your monobook. Both the centralnotices use that id (so far as I know), so making them use different ones would then allow you to hide one but not the other, alternate them etc etc. -Mike On Tue, 2

So far as I know, this is solved by givine each centralnotice a different id (which is how they're identified to be hidden - or at least that was the case in the past). Should be easy to do. -Mike On Tue, 2009-04-14 at 09:56 -0700, Robert Rohde wrote: > On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 9:39 AM, Erik Moel
