I really like the Advent Calendar code... I cant wait to use it next Christmas!

interesting point. as soon as I finish this request Im working on I will update that.

you can actually reply to threads where the code is BTW. this section is for guests to post feedback without making an account.

no worries. I wanted people to be able to post in the thread where the code was so that they can read if anyone else has had issues in the past.

keep checking in. I plan on doing some suggested upgrades to it soon!

Hey, I'm Topeka.

I've been looking at your Floating NavTree code, and for some reason i cant get it to float?

i can place the <div id="nvtree"></div> in on the gloabal header board by itself and the NavTree works. but doesnt float. obviously.
i can get the Floating NavTree to display floating text and the link. like your CODE INDEX on the right. But i cannot get the nvtree to work right.

The code you gave to make the floating navTree uh... here wormocodes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=codedb&action=display&thread=9
doesn't work. well from your instructions.? From just pasting it in the global header.? its all i did w/ it.

So. i viewed your scorce code on the page to find out what i could be doing wrong w/ what i did.

This is copied from scorce code on your forum
</script>

<style type="text/css">
#floatNav {top: expression( ( ignoreMe = document.body.scrollTop +20 ) + 'px' ); z-index: 50;}
</style>
<table  id="floatNav" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left" valign="top" width="12%" bgcolor="0066FF" class="bordercolor">
<tr><td>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" class="welcomebg" bgcolor="000000">
<div valign="top" id="nvtree" style="font-size: 9"></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td class="windowbg2" style="border: 1px #00FF00 solid;"><center><a href="/index.cgi?board=codedb&action=display&thread=119"><font size=4>CODE INDEX</font></a></center></td></tr><tr><td class="windowbg"><div id='threadlog'></div></td/></tr><tr><td class="windowbg"><div id='rankspot'></div></td/></tr>
</table>
</td></tr></table>

<script type="text/javascript">

You took out your
<div width="10%" id="floatNav"> </div>
and replaced it with it in red to place it in a table.

<table id="floatNav" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="left" valign="top" width="12%" bgcolor="0066FF" class="bordercolor">


w/e w/e. anyway. I tired both ways, and i cant seem to get it to work through the codes given. or the header code you have in your scorce code. I didnt look at footer in your boards scorce code.

But anyway, could you explain what i could be doing wrong for it not to work??

Heres my header... then footer for the script. i copied and pasted the script twice the the footer. so thats the exact same as in your code placed on the forum

Header - i arranged it based off your scorce code on the forum.

ps: The color smear code is very nice, and I liked the Watchdog ip ban. I banned myself once. wasnt nice. lol.


Thanks if you can help me?
I would of made a new post for this, cause it was lengthy, but you cant as a guest. only reply

~Topeka

so the main thing is.. my instructions on the code page werent clear? I will look into rewriting them then.

what did you do that ended up fixing it. comparing lines of codes with a headache is not fruitful for me.


unless you are using the threadlog code, you dont really need the DIV with id "threadlog" in there.

Um, yeah i guess it was the instructions. In the code uh.. here
wormocodes.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=codedb&action=display&thread=9
Where you say if you want it to float like you see to the left.
well. you place that in the script. and it didnt work (for me). I do not know why it didnt work. but The navtree code didnt work by the code you gave. So maybe showing where you must add things to add more into the floating box would help? thats what got me at first. then when i got one part of it working the entire thing came into play. idk.

Here the code you have in the forum i pasted above

Everything in green is what i got rid of, everything in red is what i added.
all footers were placed too. this is just the header for the floating nav tree, cause this is the only thing i changed.

This gives me exactly what you have on your board except the "Your Rank"
Well yesterday it did. I got on today and the Thread log didnt work, i was like wtf?.. ill figure that out eventually. Idk what happened from yesterday to today, except i tried to add a main screen board. its one of yours actually. but i wanted to get your transparent main board. Thats cool. I could never find a transparent board. so i was like AWESOME!. but it turns out your previews are deceiving haha. but i didnt think that would do anything to interrupt the threadlog script?
I even repasted the Threadlog footer and it still didnt work. So, im utterly confused, but all in good time will it work again -.- lol.
