ShoutMix Shoutbox Options

[Fireshrieker]

Does anyone use Shoutmix's Shoutbox? Because when i try to use it on xanga, i think it disables it or blocks it or something because it doesn't show up. Is it just me or is it xanga?

um, well what is it and where can i go and see how it works, maybe if you gave an example of how it works, we'll be able to help more! ^^

Its basically a chatterbox, except with better features, no ad, and customization. The website is www.shoutmix.com. The code i'm trying to use is:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<!-- Start Shoutbox Include -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.shoutmix.com/embed/uranium/"></script>
<noscript><p><a href="http://www.shoutmix.com/box/uranium/">View shoutbox</a></p></noscript>
<!-- End Shoutbox Include -->

<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

for the placement code
Whenever i put it in and save it, then come back to CLAF,

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.shoutmix.com/embed/uranium/"></script>

is deleted.


and the CSS is:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->

<style type="text/css">
<!--
#shoutbox {
 font-family: Arial; color: 303030; font-size: 8pt;
 display: block; width: 125px; height: 240px; overflow: auto;
}
#shoutbox a {
 color: 303030;
}
#shoutbox h1, #shoutbox h2 {
 font-size: 8pt; margin: 0; padding: 0;
}
#shoutbox input {
 color: 303030;
}
#shoutbox label, #shoutbox label input {
 display: block;
}
#shoutbox_form, #shoutbox p {
 margin: 0; padding: 0;
}
#shoutbox_forms input {
 font-family: Arial; color: 303030; font-size: 8pt; background-color: ededed; border: 1px solid 959292; width: 96%;
}
#shoutbox_buttons {
 text-align: right; margin: 1em 0 1em 0;
}
#shout {
 background-color: ededed; border: 1px solid 959292; float: left;
}
#shoutbox_contents p {
 margin: 0 0 1em 0; padding: 0;
}
#shoutbox hr {
 color: 959292; background-color: 959292; border: 0; height: 1px;
}
#shoutbox ul {
 margin: 1em 0; padding: 0;
}
#shoutbox li {
 margin: 0 0 0 1.5em; padding: 0;
}
#shoutbox img {
 vertical-align: middle;
}

</style>

Does Xanga block this?

[Fireshrieker]

No one then?

[sweetxsimplicity]

Well if it does that, it probaly mean that Xanga does block it..

[LatinaLady]

i tried it and it dont work i added the codeto all three parts but wont work.

[swtaznpride]

try switchin it to the mode with the border.i tried to do that and then it worked. or u can try to put the code again and somewer it should say view shoutbox.

yeah it's code is probably being blocked by xanga. as far as i know there are only 2 shoutboxes that will work on xanga. they are the flooble chatterbox and Cbox which is what i use on my site. you can drop the xanga staff an email requesting them to allow the shoutmix code to work on their site and they might just honor your request. a lot of folks were doing that after they implemented the security measures. it's worth a shot.
