Dirty, but it works. Had to tweak the top and left of the msg div to get it to work in the Drupal page. I ought to do that via script, really, then it might be easily re-usable elsewhere.
I'd like to make some mods to it; allow an "interactive" journey where you can click Yes or No and work through a simple dialogue. That may have to wait for a little while though (or, you never know, it might get done as an avoidance tactic for doing other more important things!)
I was going to say that I was also thinking of getting the script to fetch the advice from a database (or web page) so that it can be dynamically updated with extra advice. It ought, really, to keep track of what advice it has given in a cookie too, but I doubt I will get that far with it. Should be relatively easy to turn into a widget too, I guess.

Works fine on IE8,
and I think it's great!
Realy cool
Really cool way of presenting this topic. Love it and the questions are quite relevant.
How did you do this?
Used firefox. It worked fine! ;-)
Simple bit of javascript and some tweaking...

Glad to hear it works in Firefox :-)
Oh I forgot...
