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.

So has anybody running 3.07 actually have this script working?

I can confirm the script works absolutly fine in itself, but the java script was conflicting with phpadsnew's java invocation code and was causing 20+sec page loads, even for people on 2mb lines. Although it was a good script, I've had to uninstall!

[hotwheels]

That's a bummer......i was hoping to get this script up and running on my site......guess i may have to uninstall it too...

only a little problem im encountering on 3.0.7

when the bit is added to the header.

you find that all your forum descriptions and all text within the forum has an underline in it.

how do ya stop that?

[Mastar]

When you add </if> at the end it doesn't work but when you remove it it works but you can't get it to turn off. vb3.07

guys, sorry i haven't gotten here in awhile, just had our first newborn. trying to get sleep more than anything else.

anyhow, the javascript may and will conflict with other hacks and CSS. this javascript is far from perfect. however, it is the only javascript that i have found that will allow the autoscrolling/stationary button in XHTML.

therefore, please know that this was only tested on a clean test board and i guarantee you that it will work on a clean default board. other than that, there will be conflicts as evidenced.

i'm currently looking for a different javascript, so please bear with me.

thanks.

dat's okay.....i am still trying to get it to work. Not sure what the error is, but it has something to do with my fieldnumbers...i believe.
