Agreed and implemented. That was easier!

If someone has code for this?

Well, perhaps poke around here:

    http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/download-website/index.html
    http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/download-website/style.css

It's a darcs repo, so darcs get http://code.haskell.org/haskell-platform/
will work.
