I am running 7.0 with XPSilver theme. I want to add a javascript 1.2 that makes snow fall on the pages...where would I installl this and is there a specail way to have to install it? I have tried several times and either the snow don't show or it wipes out the top section of the page.

Usually you can install all js code in includes/my_header.php. See this post also

Ok here is what I am trying to add. It has a body tag of onload="preloadImages();" which I added in themes/mytheme/theme.php and then added this to my_header.php and i got a parse error every time :/ i even tried the \ before the " and all and it had a parse error at line 23 which was <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2"> and i even tried ."<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript1.2\">" and \n" and \n"; at the end. Same results every time. The my_header.php says it adds its code in the <HEAD> </HEAD> Tags but this has to be in the <BODY></BODY> tags. And if I add it in theme.php it corrupts the whole page and when I edit it and get it to work. I don't see the snow falling and yes I have the gif loaded in images directory. hehe

Code:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">


</script>

Since you are adding pure html/js code,you must place this code AFTER the closing ?> php tag in includes/my_header.php. Don't worry about it being in the body tag. It should work just fine in the my_header.php file.

and what about the onload="preloadImages();" body tag

Raven · Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2004 9:17 am

Well, you said you already added that to your body onload tag, correct? That should work. You could also try adding that function call right above the

Code:

// End -->

tag in your script, but you'll have to experiment.

i tried both ways....i added the code after the ?> tag and added the onload images in my_header.php and at the bottom of the script and same thing...nothin happens

Yep. This script isn't working stand alone. You are calling preloadImages() but I don't see it defined anywhere.

the error is the </script>

Raven · Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2004 9:27 am

No, it's the preloadImages() function. It isn't defined anywhere.

so should i take that out of the body tag?

that may be for another script...there was 2 together...one was a bg script..

You need to include that function in your js file. It is MISSING.

js file? what is missing...can you explain a little?

Raven · Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2004 9:32 am

Here's the deal Laughing

. You need to get the script working as a stand-alone script, outside of nuke. Then, move the js code into includes/my_header.php and it should work just fine.

The function preloadImages(), unless it is not needed. However, if you remove it, your script still has problems as a stand-alone. As I said, you need to get it working outside of nuke first.

Code:

</style>
   <csscriptdict import>
      <script type="text/javascript" src="GeneratedItems/CSScriptLib.js"></script>
   </csscriptdict>
   <csactiondict>
      <script type="text/javascript"></script>
   </csactiondict>
</head><a name="top"></a>

<body onload="preloadImages();" bgcolor="#cd0000" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" topmargin="0">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">

thats what is before the java code

Raven · Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2004 9:44 am

Move this code to my_header.php after the other.

Code:

And delete this

Code:

</head><a name="top"></a>

After that, make sure the images are being called correctly, meaning the script is finding them.

well I edited it in editplus2 and this is what I have and the snow is falling on a blank page

Code:

<html>

<head>

   </head>

<body onload="preloadImages();">

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">


</script>


</body>

</html>
