The Comic Sans-o-Tron!

An idea wot I twocked from B3ta

Yes, that's right, everybody, the world's most-loved font can now take over your web browser, so Comic Sans can finally be the rightful ruler of ther intertubes. The only trouble is that I'm a bit rubbish, fat and lazy, so this isn't a magic website that comic sans-es everything up. Instead, you get a magic button (Patent Pending) that makes any website of your choice look like a five-year-old wrote it.

Click the button below to try it out. Even better, drag it to your bookmarks bar to use it where ever you want!

Gimme Comic Sans!

You might want to wander over to the Beeb and try it out. After that, maybe even try one or two other internet sites. Enjoy!

Help! I haven't got a bookmarks bar!

You noob - make sure it's not hidden or disabled. If you still have a problem, try making a bookmark with the text below as the link address. If that doesn't work, then I'm very sorry.

javascript:(function(){c=document.createElement("style");c.type="text/css";if(c.styleSheet){c.styleSheet.cssText="*{font-family:\"Comic Sans MS\",\"Comic Sans\",sans-serif !important;}";}else{c.appendChild(document.createTextNode("* { font-family:\"Comic Sans MS\",\"Comic Sans\",sans-serif !important;}"));}document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(c);var f = document.getElementsByTagName("font");if(f.length>0){for(var i in f){f[i].style.fontFamily="\"Comic Sans MS\",\"Comic Sans\",sans-serif";}} return;})()

Technical Notes for geeky types in bullet-point form

• The button uses a javascript: url, so script-haters can't have a slice of the comic sans love.
• Any <font> tags (which are evil, btw) are overridden and nullified.
• It adds a short stylesheet to the page that overrides any fonts declared.
• Well, that's the theory. If a more specific selector than * declares a font-family with the !important thingy, then it won't work. Sorry.
• If you really wanted this to happen on every page, you're better off ferretting around in your browser's preferences/options.
• If you're a Leet Hacksaw, then maybe a user-stylesheet (google it) is better for you.
• This will fail at replacing text that's presented as an image, or in videos or flash.
• If it doesn't work, tell me about it!

Ta very much for reading.
