I know there are many blinking PM hacks out here I scanned through them all
but what I cannot find is a hack that makes the words "Private Messages"
on the navbar blink in the event of a new PM.



A much simpler mod than the blinking bar or blinking background really
but I cannot get it to work.

Does anyone know how to make it work?

I have some java script for it and I can easilly get it to display anywheres on the forum homepage but I cannot get it to replace the original PM stats
line I don't know how do to that.

Heres my header script info.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

window.onerror = null;
 var bName = navigator.appName;
 var bVer = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
 var NS4 = (bName == "Netscape" && bVer >= 4);
 var IE4 = (bName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" 
 && bVer >= 4);
 var NS3 = (bName == "Netscape" && bVer < 4);
 var IE3 = (bName == "Microsoft Internet Explorer" 
 && bVer < 4);
 var blink_speed=100;
 var i=0;
 
if (NS4 || IE4) {
 if (navigator.appName == "Netscape") {
 layerStyleRef="layer.";
 layerRef="document.layers";
 styleSwitch="";
 }else{
 layerStyleRef="layer.style.";
 layerRef="document.all";
 styleSwitch=".style";
 }
}

//BLINKING
function Blink(layerName){
 if (NS4 || IE4) { 
 if(i%2==0)
 {
 eval(layerRef+'["'+layerName+'"]'+
 styleSwitch+'.visibility="visible"');
 }
 else
 {
 eval(layerRef+'["'+layerName+'"]'+
 styleSwitch+'.visibility="hidden"');
 }
 } 
 if(i<1)
 {
 i++;
 } 
 else
 {
 i--
 }
 setTimeout("Blink('"+layerName+"')",blink_speed);
}
//  End -->
</script>

Heres my if statement code, obviously not in the right place in my navbar
template:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread']">
<!-- Blinking text START -->
<div id="prem_hint" style="position:relative; left:0; visibility:hidden" class="prem_hint">
<font color="#FF0000"><b>Private messages</b></font>
</div>
<script language="javascript">Blink('prem_hint');</script>
</script>
</if>

Any help would be greatly apreciated on this mod.
thanks all in advance.
