I have Firefly's blinking PM bar hack installed and I am trying to make the PM bar clickable but am having problems with when I mouseover on it the blinking stops and will not continue when I take the mouse pointer off of it. I want it to continue blinking when not doing a mouse-over. here is the coode I am using to make the whole bar clickable with a mouseover effect. For some reason it keeps putting the paths for vbulletin.org in my code here but that is not what I entered here. Anyway, the code I am using is the same only I am not using any vbulletin.org stuff in it, so you will get the general idea.

<tr id="cat">
<td id="pmBox" bgcolor="#336D95" background="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/catagory_backing.gif" colspan="6" onMouseOver="this.style.backgroundColor='#E4630A';
this.style.cursor='hand';"
onMouseOut="this.style.backgroundColor='#336D95" background="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/images/catagory_backing.gif';"
onClick="window.location.href='private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]'" title="Click Here to Open Your Private Messages $inboxname"><normalfont color="#000000"><b>$bbuserinfo[username]'s Private Messages</normalfont></b></a></td>
</tr>

Any ideas on this one?

The blinking PM bar won't work right with a category background image. I modified the hack to use two different templates. You get a backgound image if there is no pm and a blinking pm bar if there is a pm. You can make both clickable. I'm not sure if this will suit your needs, but you can take a look at it:

I'm not using any background images. I am using a colored bar. The code I put in that message somehow has some of bvulletin.org's code in it. I use the same code as I left but without any images. I just want it to go back to blinking if there is a private message AFTER I do a mouseover.
