Ads slow down page rendering... so

[paulaa]

Google ads etc slow down my page rendering quite considerably so i did this

Function is used in conjunction with the handy Prototype framework.

function wideAd() {
var f = $('tad');
var g = $('wad');
var h = $('sponsor');
var k = $('had');
f.innerHTML = g.innerHTML;
h.innerHTML = k.innerHTML;
}

basically the f and h variables are the divs that are at the bottom of the page. g and k are variables at the top of the page.

this way the ads are loaded right after the page loads... instead of the page waiting to load with the ads.

is this the best way to do it though? I'm no expert at JavaScript but seeing as iframes don't work well... this seems to be the best route. Seems to work fine in just about every browser.

i put the ads last in my source and use CSS to position them where i want them.
