Installation on a Site
The iframe code beneath each of the following toolbars should be placed in the index page of the artist site, immediately after the body tag and before any content, whether HTML or Flash pieces.
The artist drop down menu consists of ten priorities from the parent label, followed by two priorities from each of the sister labels.

Using an iframe is consistent with coding methods used for third party advertising such as inline javascript.
While these may cause page validation errors, they fall outside of those rules as they are highly valuable traffic and revenue generating tools.
Other options/notes:
If you are concerned with validation, the iframe can be written into the page using javascript; however, this may cause additional coding troubleshooting. See below if you choose to use this method.
Javascript methodology could involve writing the following div into the page just after the body tag, and before andy content whether Flash or HTML:
<div id="toolbar"></div>
The stylesheet for the page should also include code such as:
#toolbar {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
overflow: hidden;
}
