Nice hack *Installed*

May be i'm just being fussy but after the user has clicked the link to register is there a way to make the bar not show any more?

Thanks

Installed this awesome little mod! Is there a way to use CSS color code instead of the actual name of the color?

Edit: Never mind, it didn't work. Maybe on the next update you can allow the ability to change the bg color and text via CSS. How can I have it appear a little lower than usual. In other words, I don't want it all the way up top, just a couple inches lower. Thanks.

hmmm I installed this and I see nothing. I thought scripts were supposed to go in the headinclude template

**

I added

<script type="text/javascript">
var persistclose=0 //set to 0 or 1. 1 means once the bar is manually closed, it will remain closed for browser session
var startX = 30 //set x offset of bar in pixels
var startY = 5 //set y offset of bar in pixels
var verticalpos="fromtop" //enter "fromtop" or "frombottom"

function iecompattest(){
return (document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat")? document.documentElement : document.body
}

function get_cookie(Name) {
var search = Name + "="
var returnvalue = "";
if (document.cookie.length > 0) {
offset = document.cookie.indexOf(search)
if (offset != -1) {
offset += search.length
end = document.cookie.indexOf(";", offset);
if (end == -1) end = document.cookie.length;
returnvalue=unescape(document.cookie.substring(offset, end))
}
}
return returnvalue;
}

function closebar(){
if (persistclose)
document.cookie="remainclosed=1"
document.getElementById("topbar").style.visibility="hidden"
}

function staticbar(){
barheight=document.getElementById("topbar").offsetHeight
var ns = (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") != -1) || window.opera;
var d = document;
function ml(id){
var el=d.getElementById(id);
if (!persistclose || persistclose && get_cookie("remainclosed")=="")
el.style.visibility="visible"
if(d.layers)el.style=el;
el.sP=function(x,y){this.style.left=x+"px";this.style.top=y+"px";};
el.x = startX;
if (verticalpos=="fromtop")
el.y = startY;
else{
el.y = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight : iecompattest().scrollTop + iecompattest().clientHeight;
el.y -= startY;
}
return el;
}
window.stayTopLeft=function(){
if (verticalpos=="fromtop"){
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset : iecompattest().scrollTop;
ftlObj.y += (pY + startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
}
else{
var pY = ns ? pageYOffset + innerHeight - barheight: iecompattest().scrollTop + iecompattest().clientHeight - barheight;
ftlObj.y += (pY - startY - ftlObj.y)/8;
}
ftlObj.sP(ftlObj.x, ftlObj.y);
setTimeout("stayTopLeft()", 10);
}
ftlObj = ml("topbar");
stayTopLeft();
}

if (window.addEventListener)
window.addEventListener("load", staticbar, false)
else if (window.attachEvent)
window.attachEvent("onload", staticbar)
else if (document.getElementById)
window.onload=staticbar
</script>

to headinclude and it works fine now.

i think it will annoy the guest because it is just there scrolling down as the scroll down and up as the scroll up.
