Adding Html
posted on: 1/30/2003 2:00:58 PM

I want to add this code to countdown to
May 5,2005, the day star wars episode 3 comes out but it hasn't worked. Can it show up on top in the box with add html?
the code is:
<P> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE=”JavaScript”>
<!-- Begin -->
var date = new Date(“May 15, 2005”;
var now = new Date();
var diff = date.getTime() - now.getTime();
var days = Math.floor (diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
document.write(days+1 + “ days until Star Wars Episode 3”;
<!-- End -->
</SCRIPT></P>

I copied the code you pasted there and it has flaws in it, so I redid and here is what I came up with:


<p>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- hide from older browser
var date = new Date('May 15, 2005');
var now = new Date();
var diff = date.getTime() - now.getTime();
var days = Math.floor(diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
document.write(days + 1 + " days until Star Wars Episode 3");
//-->
</script>
</p>


Looks like I need to redo our posting script to not convert to smiles withing a code block...

how about this


<br>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
var date = new Date('May 15, 2005');
var now = new Date();
var diff = date.getTime() - now.getTime();
var days = Math.floor(diff / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
document.write("<b>" + (days + 1) + " days until Star Wars Episode 3</b>" );
//-->
</script>
<br>


and that brings me to a question
Javascript is enabled ?? is there limitiation
i guess this is for the 'headers'
how about in post or signatures ?
..im gonna try heh

I would have to check on that for you, not sure. That is nice, I didn't even know it opened up like that until I clicked on it, heh... It should open if you move your mouse over it.

btw, thanks for helping him out. the code I posted was tested today in IE and it worked just fine. He might be using NS, or another browser.

Adding Html and javascript!
replied on: 1/31/2003 12:12:58 AM

my pleasure for the help
i think the glitch was

document.write(days + 1 + " days until ..
document.write((days + 1) + " days until ..

ya i know about the hover i got lazy
a way to bypass the limit is hosting is own js file
so dont mind if i need extra space ill deal with it

u putted it in the F.A.Q ?
nice thinking

for the record glow is html and css
no javascript needed for glow
i spoke of it because of the frame in my signature

EDIT

just a note LaWizard there more code than needed i did it fast the 1st time
a short way could b (to save chars)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="filter:glow(color=ff0000, strength=3);height=1px"><b>title</b></font>


no need of 2 <font> tag
u might want to change that in the FAQ

if someone wonders how to make shadow
below is a example
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="filter: Dropshadow(Color=#ff00000, OffX=1, OffY=1, Positive=1);height=1px"><b>title</b></font>

thanks again elder code. i also added glow to the counter also.
what's interesting about this glow code is when i go over my characters the avatar, reply post and edit buttons glow. i used this for myself almost to distinguish admins from mods.
