one entry per page for firefox Options

[puahahax100]

does anyone know a script for showing only one entry per page that will work in firefox?

thanks =]

[verbalistic]

i don't think you can have it for every page...hmm

[talcumpowder]

Nay, because you'd have to use Javascript and Firefox/Mozilla interprets it differently.

[puahahax100]

ohh ic ic, that sucks. but thanks a lot guys =]

****** EDIT AGAIN: because of a rather retarted bit of xanga security that was added, this script no longer works as-is. I'm not going to fix something that no one uses--if someone really likes this script, please e-mail me and I'll take a bit of time to bypass the new modification or change the script to use a different function. My e-mail is below, inside the script comments. Thanks!

i know it's possible, and i'm kinda bored right now, so i'm cooking one up atm =) just one thing: it won't work right if you post two posts in the same minute, but i'm sure that won't be a problem.

this should work on most standard xanga layouts/configurations. just follow the instructions in the "EXTENRAL REQUIREMENTS + INSTALLATION" section.

have fun =)

*** EDIT: for everyone who got here by search, make sure you follow the instructions for the area starting with '<p id="cloneLinksP" style="display:none; text-align:right;">'. That HTML goes RIGHT ABOVE the <script language. . . below.

If you're still having problems, you can reply to this thread; I've subscribed to it.
In the future, after I work out all the kinks, I might be submitting this as one of those "official" createblog scripts and clarify all the instructions.

also, if it didn't work before, try it again with this script. I accidentally left something out, so it shouldn't have worked when you tried putting it in. stupid me =(

/*
External Requirements + Installation

* This entire script belongs in the footer, or "website
stats" section

* Copy the following RIGHT ABOVE this script. Modify it to
change the style of the links; just make sure that the basic
structure, ids, display:none, and onClick attributes
are still there

<p id="cloneLinksP" style="display:none; text-align:right;">
<a href="#" onClick = "prevEntry(); return false;" id="prevLink"
class="prevLink">previous
entry</a> <span id="midline" class="midline">|</span>
<a href="#" onClick = "nextEntry(); return false;" id="nextLink"
class="nextLink">next
entry</a>
</p>
<form onSubmit = "return false">
<input type = "hidden" value = "nothing" name =
"PositionSaver" id = "PositionSaver" />
</form>


* The following belongs in the Header module. It is recommended,
but optional--it reduces the flicker when the page is still
loading while allowing browsers without JavaScript to still view
the page properly. You may also use this to customize the
forward and back links.

<style type="text/css">
.blogBody {display:none;}
.blogHeader {display:none;}
a.nextLink{cursor:pointer;}
a.prevLink{cursor:pointer;}
a.disabledPrevLink {
    color:#999999;
    cursor:default;
    text-decoration:none;

-----DOCUMENTATION------------------------------------------

** PURPOSE **
This script provides the means for you to browse a Xanga
Weblog one post at a time, rather than five at a time.

** REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION**
    * Must not be in Xanga Private
    * Must be in main Xanga weblog page (i.e. not
comments, etc. . .)
    * Only tested on Firefox 1.5 and IE 6.0. Most likely
will work on most modern browsers (Firefox, IE5+ [non-mac],
Opera 7+, Netscape, etc. . .)
    * There must be posts in the weblog
    * Weblog will function normally if JavaScript is
disabled

** QUIRKS **
    * If you navigate out of the page (i.e. click on add
comment, etc. . .) and you're not on the first/last of the
set of five posts, it'll *in some cases* return to the first
post when you click back on your browser. A state-saving
system based on forms has been used, but has not been tested
for reliability.
    * Page identification system has not been rigorously
tested.
    * As always, changes in the Xanga site may cause the
script to function incorrectly.
    * Like many dynamic content pages, the back/forward
buttons functions don't function properly. This, along with
quirk #1, will be fixed in a later release.

** THEORY OF OPERATION **
This script works mainly by showing/hiding posts to simulate
browsing one post at a time. Posts are shown and hidden
merely by setting .style.display. When a Xanga weblog page
is first displayed, the "direction" of the page as specified
in the URL is processed. If direction is not p, the first
post is initially displayed; otherwise, the last post is
initially displayed. The next/previous functions simply hide
the current post and show the next/previous post on the
page, unless the current post is already at the beginning or
end of the set. In this case, the next/previous URLs are
extracted from the Xanga page and are used for redirection.

Note: with the state-saving mechanism in version 1.1, the
direction variable and processing presumably is no longer
necessary

SAVING STATE
Many modern browsers automatically save the values of form
fields when a user browses out of a page; this script
exploits this ability to save the last displayed weblog.
However, the back/forward buttons on the browser currently
will not function properly.

FORWARD/NEXT BUTTONS
The cloneLinksP element is cloned and copied with the
appropriate changes into the proper location in the Xanga
DOM.

Life is cruel. I've spent the past two hours combing through the dark space that is the WWW and finally found this amazing looking code when alas, it does not work for me. Having one entry per page is pretty necessary for my xanga because I post a million pictures and since it takes forever to load, visitors are discouraged to wait till the end. I registered for CB just so I could commiserate about this particular problem.

Life is cruel.

I am not emo, I promise.
