i wanna use this custom module script i found on createblog, http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12751, but i dunno how to put a chatterbox/tagboard/shoutbox code in it bcuz it can onli contain html and cant have any line breaks in the moduleContent code. the other custom module scripts are too much of a hassle to have to remake every module and link. the reason i wanna do this is bcuz i want a chatterbox right under my profile, which somebody told me using a custom module would be the onli way. can anyone help me???

[i tried posting this question earlier today, but it gave me an error. if it went thru, which means i am double posted, sorry. i am new]

umm it seemed to work fine at first. i put in a flooble chatterbox code into it, and it appeared on my xanga. but then when someone clicks on a link to prop or add a comment onto one of my weblogs, only the chatterbox appears, everything else is gone. :o

oh yeah, sorry bout that. took it off the other day cuz nobody could prop me. its back on now. the problem is that whenever someone tries to prop me, onli the chatterbox is shown and everything else disappears. i also noticed some other screwy problems too, like another chatterbox appearing inside the banner! or another chatterbox at the bottom of the page, or even the banner being moved to the bottom. so confused. wacko.gif

heres the code i used in webstats:

Those custom modules tend to have problems with chatterboxes and cboxes so I suggest try using this.

Rip the current modules from your source.... It's not that hard, is it?

go here:
http://www.codehouse.com/webmaster_tools/html_encoder

Copy and paste your chatterbox code into the 'input' box, then replace your original chatterbox code in your codes with the encoded script.

Well you copy what you see there, and red the instructions and after you do that I guess I can guide you from there.

Here I'll do it for you since some of it is complicated so I'll edit this post later and give you the code.

Here try this

you just have to edit the colors of it and such yourself.

In the code I gave you somewhere in the beggining it says this...
CODE
table.blogbody tr td {width:0px; padding: 0px;}

try making the padding like 10 or 20 or something like that
