It's almost winter and the sun sets at about 5:30pm and rises at about 6:15am

Throughout summer, spring and part of autumn the sun sets at about 7:30pm sometime as late as 8:00pm. The sun rises as early as 5:00am but usually 5:30am.

I want my extra hours of sun back.

Actually that would not make evolutionary sense, that adaptation would select itself out of a population (although some suggested other hypotheses like the 'homosexuals help others more and spread their genes as well because they had straight sex once in a while- hypotheses). So, from a strictly Darwinian viewpoint, homosexuality shouldn't still be around. It is simply is the worst wayway to pass along one's genes, and to complicate the picture further, no "gay genes" have even been identified.

More recent and better hypotheses is that the explanation lies not in DNA - genes itself. Instead, as an embryo develops, sex-related genes are turned on and off in response to fluctuating levels of hormones in the womb, produced by both mother and child.

So take a male embryo - during the right time window there is an influx of progesteron and oestrogenes - and the genes get activated that 'sexualizes' the brain in a female way. The more hormones, the more feminine the males brain and behaviour. That is why homosexuals can range from being very manly (eg footballer ) to very, very female.

The other way around works as well: female embryo that gets too much testosterone. Here as well you see the female homosexuals range from very manly to just as feminine as you would expect.

Scientist have tested this hypotheses by injecting the wombs of mice, birds and i think even monkeys. Worked everytime :-)

The original research was done at the uni and research group where I was working in Santa Barbara. Coolest ever :-)

So yes, homosexuality is very, very natural and yes the prevalence of it is cross culturally identical no matter what belief systems or religious taboos are in place. Also, no people do not chose this. Now, isn't it very discriminating not to give them the same rights we have?

Something like this: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_button_test

Only instead of an alert, an image appears.

That's what you get when you mess with that extra 'x' chromosome!

You're better off using CSS to do that.

I'm not sure if CSS is allowed in this particular piece of assessment but could you show me how to do it?

Here's a simple bit of code that should get it done...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">  <head>    <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" />     <meta charset="utf-8" />    <title>Test</title>    <style type="text/css">      .hidden {        display: none;      }    </style>  </head>  <body>    <form>      <input type="submit" id="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('hidden').style.display = 'block';" />     </form>     <img id="hidden" class="hidden" src="foo.png" />  </body></html>

Basic CSS really. Nothing too fancy. I'm not sure how you would do it using pure HTML, would be a lot of unnecessary code though.

Thank god for you. I've been spending hours trying to get it to work with basic html. A MILLION REPS FOR YOU IF I COULD.

Sorry, used the wrong attribute... Should've been button instead of form.

Replace:

 <form>      <input type="submit" id="submit" onclick="document.getElementById('hidden').style.display = 'block';" /> </form>

With:

<button type="button" onclick="document.getElementById('hidden').style.display = 'block';">Show Image!</button>

That should work I think...

Thanks. That is the first step in a lot of work...
