All,

I added some javascript code to my default header and can't make it work. Then I moved the javascript to the header insert area and it works fine. The problem with the javascript in the header insert area, I now can't have unique headers in forums that I have the unique header/footer button checked as the javascript and banners are added to EVERY forum on top of the unique banners.

How can I make the javascript work for the default forum page and have individual headers for other forums?

Thanks,

Wayne

you should be able to insert javascript anywhere (within reason).. i have it in the footer.tpl sometimes..

might just be the syntax you are using..

would help to see what you are inserting to give more aid smile

You're not including the HTML tags, are you? Those may be conflicting with the current HTML/HEAD/BODY tags...

I've taken them out and the code is posted below - still doesn't work.

The <body onload=""> would need to be added to:
Control Panel » Display Options » HTML Includes » Body Onload as such:
HTML
bannerchanger('banner');

Do you just want the banner to appear at the top of every page? That's what I have (check my site), and I have my code in the Default Header section like below. This is basically a table that on the left has my site logo, and on the right I have banners rotating on every page of the forums.
HTML
<BR />

<TABLE align="center" width="800">
<TR>
<TD align="center" valign="middle" width="325">
<a href="http://www.gangsterbb.net/threads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm" target="_top">
<IMG width="300" height="50" src="images/title_gangster-bb.gif" 
border="0" alt="GangsterBB.NET" align="left"></a>
</TD>
<TD align="center" valign="middle">

<!-- BANNER ROTATION -->

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

<!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
<!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->

<!-- Begin

var how_many_ads = 3;
var now = new Date()
var sec = now.getSeconds()
var ad = sec % how_many_ads;
var border = 0;
ad +=1;


if (ad==1) {
txt="Search over 400,000 posters, photos, t-shirts, gifts, and more!"; 
url="http://www.MobPosters.com/";
alt="MobPosters";
banner="http://www.MobPosters.com/img/468x60-anim.gif";
width="468";
height="60";
}

if (ad==2) {
txt="2008 CALENDARS: Search for Scarface (GF sold out!)";

url="THE URL PEOPLE ARE SENT TO";
alt="SHORT TEXT IF IMAGE ISN'T LOADED";
banner="LOCATION/OF/THE/BANNER.GIF";
width="468";
height="60";
border="0";
}


document.write('<center>');
document.write('<a href=\"' + url + '\" target=\"_blank\">');
document.write('<img src=\"' + banner + '\" width=')
document.write(width + ' height=' + height + ' ');
document.write('border=' + border + ' ');
document.write('alt=\"' + alt + '\" border=0><br>');
document.write('<small>' + txt + '</small></a>');
document.write('</center>');
// End -->

</SCRIPT>
</TD></TR></TABLE>
<BR />

If that's all you need, you can just modify the code I use to include however many banners you want to rotate by changing this: var how_many_ads = 3;

You wouldn't need the Body Onload section using this.

If you want the ads somewhere else, then there'd be a different procedure....

Okay, I just noticed this. wink

You may have to settle for including specific banners in the "Forum Intro" section of each forum at Control Panel » Forum Settings » [FORUM NAME/Details] » Forum Introduction Body. That would, however, only include the banner on the forum's postlist page and not every page...

Maybe someone else has a better idea.

bannerchanger('banner');

In the 'Body Onload'

This was the key!!!!

Thanks a million,
