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".

I have been able to make this work on my forum, but for some reason with one of my forum skins it causes the images to "double load" if the option is enabled in that skin. By double load, I mean the page loads fine, but then it "reloads" the images. It's kind of strange actually...
Wrks great in 4 other skins though... Nice work.

I've gotten this to work also, and it works great, but in some of my more "advanced" skins, obtained through extremepixels.com, having the panic button turned on causes all the text on the page to be underlined. The standard styles work great.

Bizarre, not a problem, though it would be nice to understand why this happens.

i'm almost positive it is the javascript. although the js is open source, i am a lousy coder and never really looked at or altered it. it also messed up a lot of my CSS so i no longer use it.

The CSS definition does not validate as valid CSS in it's current form, it should be:

/* ***** Panic Button Location***** */
.panicbutton {
	position: absolute;
	position: fixed;
        right: 10px;
	bottom: 10px;
}

just to add - my problem was the use of the word "Yes" in the header ...

remember this must be EXACTLY what you wrote in the profile field..

i wrote "YES" ...
