Add Fireworks to my forum.

[Ath3na]

Hi all,

I hope someone can point me in the right direction. This is all new to me so sorry if this is the wrong place.

I have been looking for some nice Firework Addon / Pluggin but there do not seem to be any available for VB 4.x.x

I have seen some nice ones here

http://www.javascript-fx.com/submits.../fw_multi.html

There script is:

There are also 13 folders called fw01 to fw13 that contain the gifs.

I have tried uploading the folders to my forum root and adding the script to my headinclude but it doesn't work.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Anyone know a place where I can get an alternative firework pluggin, surely this must of been done many times already.

Thanks in advance

You could try this: put that code in a file, name it something like fireworks.js. Then upload it to your forum directory (probably into the clientscript directory). Then in your header, insert something like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/fireworks.js"></script>

BTW, you shouldn't post code that isn't yours without permission (especially a complete file). Also, when you do post code please use [code][/code] tags around it.
