Exactly what is showing up in the block? (Something is in the page source, no?) Or do you mean literally a white page for the whole page? If so, you should look in your error_logs for a clue on what is happening (if you don't know where they are, ask your host.)

Hi Lynne,

Thanks for taking the time to reply It's frustrating me to no extent


At this moment, it is showing my page (that worked when I switched to HTML). However, the block just has an empty border in it. If I check the source, I only see the code the exact same way I posted it.

Viewing my source, I have the following lines in the header now:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.<site>.com/forums/clientscript/jquery.countdown.css" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.<site>.com/forums/clientscript/jquery.countdown.js"></script>

The additional.css contains the proper CSS code for the script, and the forumblock itself has been set to contain this code:

<table><tr><td>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#glowingLayout').countdown({until: new Date(2010, 12 - 1, 8), compact: true, 
    layout: '<div class="image{d10}"></div><div class="image{d1}"></div>' + 
        '<div class="imageDay"></div><div class="imageSpace"></div>' + 
        '<div class="image{h10}"></div><div class="image{h1}"></div>' + 
        '<div class="imageSep"></div>' + 
        '<div class="image{m10}"></div><div class="image{m1}"></div>' + 
        '<div class="imageSep"></div>' + 
        '<div class="image{s10}"></div><div class="image{s1}"></div>'});
</script>
</td></tr></table>

The source shows the following for the block:

<div class="blockrow"><table><tr><td> <script type="text/javascript">
$('#glowingLayout').countdown({until: new Date(2010, 12 - 1, 8), compact: true, 
    layout: '<div class="image{d10}"></div><div class="image{d1}"></div>' + 
        '<div class="imageDay"></div><div class="imageSpace"></div>' + 
        '<div class="image{h10}"></div><div class="image{h1}"></div>' + 
        '<div class="imageSep"></div>' + 
        '<div class="image{m10}"></div><div class="image{m1}"></div>' + 
        '<div class="imageSep"></div>' + 
        '<div class="image{s10}"></div><div class="image{s1}"></div>'});

</script> </td></tr></table></div>
