replace text HELP, the code doesn't work... Options

[chikki]

Hey,

I've been trying to get the javascript code to work... the one that replaces text on your xanga (not just the links, but the words like "Name:", etc...) there's a code available by umm.. easteregg... it seems to work on everyone else's site (example here: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=kath1eenexample3) but not mine. can anyone help? i tried putting the code both first and last in the website stats part of my xanga but it still doesn't work so I don't know what to do... and I would really like to change the text my xanga. HELP PLEASE...

Thank you

[crashingg]

can you post your code here?

or you can just go here http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=230 found in the xanga scripts , and start over

[*mona lisa*]

did you put the code into your website stats?

[chikki]

I used the code from: http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=230

I've tried it again and again but it doesn't seem to work. And yes I put it in the website stats part

I use Firefox but I don't know if that's a problem because the xanga link that I showed in my first uses the same exact code from "http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=230" and it shows up fine.

Anymore suggestions?

Can you post up your code? You may be doing something wrong..

I'm just wondering, but are you allowed to have those spaces?

The ones like this:
" ",

[chikki]

I tried it without the spaces and it still doesn't work...

you know how there are two lists. one that's under old array. and one that's under new.. all you have to change is the one under new array one. don't do anything to the old array

[largosama]

^ yes you do -_-

have you tried on internet explorer?
