HAHAHAHAHA!!! another thing i noticed, the Reversed background images are called: logo-af.jpg and tagline-af.jpg while as the normal ones say logo.jpg and tagline.jpg the af meaning April Fools

also the Next and Previous buttons are reversed (clicking Next will take you to a normal logo'd page, but will not normalise the Previous and Next buttons )


You guys made me scared for a second, then i rememberd it was april fools day xD

I will confess that I wasted 15 minutes on it.

I was wondering what simple jokes I could do that wouldn't cause any harm.

Funnily enoguh I didn't code half the stuff you were talking about.
The "direction:rtl" css property actually flips the ">" signs, the ordering, the table layout--everything...

The "<<< Next" link was actually an interesting consequence of that property.

Indeed, I think if you apply a "direction: rtl" property to the whole page it will flip the scrollbar to the left side in most modern browsers, which would have been funny.
