Panic Button 1.0.1

This is a Panic Button (Should work in IE and FF) in case a member is worried about being on your site at a particular time, for example, at work.

The button defaults to staying glued to the lower right hand corner, but this can be changed in the CSS settings stated below.

The button can also be turned off by each member if they don't want to use it.

This is a hybrid of my Boss Button and yinyangs work to make the java right.

If you have the Custom Error Pages hack installed on a Windows server, you need to edit the settings to use URLs and not files or this will conflict.

The image I use is can obviously be substituted with anything else you like. Just be sure to name your image "panicbutton.gif".

This may be copied, reproduced or published anywhere without my permission.

vB 3.5 Beta Version

Give me a few lines after as well.

here goes from the top of the header template:

<!-- PANIC BUTTON -->
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field6] == yes">
<!--[if lt IE 7]><script src="clientscript/panicbutton.js" type="text/javascript"></script><![endif]-->
<div class=panicbutton>
<a href="$bbuserinfo[field5]"><img src="images/misc/panicbutton.gif" border="0" alt="Panic Button"></a>
</div></if>
<!-- END PANIC BUTTON -->
<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a><CENTER>
<table border="1" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>

<table border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="900">
 <tr>

What are your field numbers?

Doesn't:

.panicbutton {
	position: fixed;
	position: expression("absolute");
	right: 10px;
	bottom: 10px;

need a } after all the properties are defined? That's probably what's causing the problem.

Yeah, got missed in the cut and paste. Try putting that in.

Although I don't see how that makes the code disappear. I assumed he failed the conditional by not editing the field numbers.

I guess you got lucky with the field numbers, mine are different.

Thought you forgot to change them.

Doh! I added the missing } and swapped the field ID's (I changed them earlier when I was checking to see if that was the error) Anyway- thanks much!

No problem, glad to help.

Is that a coincidence that the hack is "Panic Button 101"? Cause I don't see a reference to 1.0.0 anywhere... :P

lol - Panic Button 101 ... i didn't even make the correlation.

anyhow, dsboyce8624 originated this hack and when I looked for a compliant script for xhtml, i coded it and placed it in the vB3.5 area ... even though it will work for all vb3.x.

so there is a genesis of 1.00 to 1.01 in the vB3.5 area which you can read here.

Thanks again for the help. Sorry to be such a dork, but maybe I will save someone else from making the same mistake

There's nothing like making stupid mistakes in public
