So yes, I think they should contact me before stealing coding. ClubHabbo attempted stealing coding from us, and they learnt the hard way by having their homes shut down on every host they've tried hosting their script with all of my Javacript coding on. Why people don't just learn Javascript and take the time to do their own work instead of stealing others credit and taking coding claiming they made it is beyond me.

While the code shown is all of the code for displaying things until the page is loaded, the thing of importance here is one tag- the first div. Ashlay is looking for a method to hide elements, and this is the important tag, the one that must enclose anything you want to hide. I imagine that that tag with all of its attributes will not suit what Ashlay is doing, whatever it is, but even in the event that this tag were copied verbatim, I would think that copying a single tag would be within fair use.
EDIT: Fixed punctuation error.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
