Another Day Off...

Not my choice this time - it's another Bank Holiday.

I'm using today to redesign my Lotto site as I've been offered an SMS back end for free as long as I run it. Basically you'd text LOTTO to 85021 and I would receive 15p, so the more I promote it, the more cash I get. The actual system owners would have their cut from the remainder of the 50p it costs you, and everyone's happy.

So I'm redesigning the website. Gone is the slightly home-grown look and in it's place is a new corporate, professional-looking site. It looks pretty frickin' schweet at the mo, with its shaded form gadgets and the like, and it looks pretty much the same in Explorer, Navigator and Opera so the effect can be shared by all. The only prob at the mo is the '100% height' issue I always seem to hit, but I've sorted it out for this site so I should be ble to find a way around it.

Oooh! Just realised how cool inner shadows on textboxes would look. Nice!

Dayum!

Hit a massive block earlier - I'm at the point where I've got to create a form and the JavaScript to validate it, but it's got to be generated automatically based on information about the type of draw which is stored in a database. So this one form has to handle anything from 2-6 numbers, the possiblity of a bonus ball and the fact that they may have different permissable values.

I done it though, and it looks damned good.
