What's wrong with this flashing code?
 

We're trying to make a flashing PM indicator. The reason why we can't use one of the others already out is because our style already uses a gif image in the background for the PM section. So what we're trying to do is to make it flash when a new PM arrives. The second image is called pmalert.gif. Ypu can ignore the mem_left.gif and mem_right.gif images. Here is the code that we've made so far:

The problem is that the "else" tag isn't working, and when a PM arrives it tries to display TWO images there at the same time :( Is there a way that we can fix this so that it switches to the other image wien a PM arrives?

Thanks.

<if condition="">

stuff

<else />

stuff

</if>

Are you saying to make it like this?


Because we're getting an error when we try that:



:confused:

You've simply got the tags wrong.

You have:

<if condition=="">
stuff
</if>
<else />
<if condition="">
</if>

What you need is:
<if condition="">
stuff
<else />
<if condition="">
stuff
</if>
</if>

The basic structure is <if> blah <else /> blah </if> If youwant to embed an conditional with in the else statement then it needs to be self contained so <if> blah <else /> <if>blah</if> </if> but the wrapping conditional needs to still maintain the same structure.
