Multiple Blink Boxes, How do I do this? Options

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

Heya All,

I've been trying to design a xanga for a friend of mine..And had the idea to do two rows of blink boxes, one on top, an one below the banner. But everytime I enter the code twice..it cancels out the second one.

This is the code I'm using. But is it just something I'm doing wrong..or is it not possible to do this? Any help would be much appreciated!

(Btw, I searched on this and couldn't find another post..if there is another like this, I'm sorry for double posting. )

var blinkRows = 2;

see u had to change that, try it

[lawmaniac_98]

hmm but i think she wanted those two lines seperated like one above a banner and the other line below the banner......

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

Yeah. o.o' That's what I'm hoping to do, do them as seperate lines of boxes..with the banner in between. But thanks for your help anyway. x.x

[*mona lisa*]

doesn't it work if you put the code for blinkboxes, then the banner, then another code for the blinkbox. i don't think there's a limit. lol

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

That's what I figured too. lol. I tried it..but for some reason, it only shows the first set of blink boxes. No matter where I place the second code..only the first shows. I just dont get it.

[*mona lisa*]

can you give a link to your xanga?

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

Well, the link is actually in my signature. Lol. But not that that matters..I'm doing it for a friend's xanga. www.xanga.com/ForeverRogue . I haven't got the blink box code inserted at the moment, cause I didnt like how it looked on only the top 'or' bottem of the banner. -.- But yeah..I want one row on top of it, one on bottem.

And thanks for your time, too.

[*mona lisa*]

sorry, i disabled the avatars and signatures i need to see how it looks with the blink boxes on top and underneath the banner though so i can see if there is any way to fix it.
wait, you can try to put both of them in separate divs. try that.

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

Okay, so I added the codes back. See what I mean? The blink boxes only show above. And as for the div thing..I'm not sure if I did it right or not, cause it didnt work.

i dont see no blinker boxes... well it should work if u just put each code right after each other.. maybe do this <br>CODE HERE</br>

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

x_x..That's because the blink boxes are at www.xanga.com/ForeverRogue ,not my xanga. And..I tried that. It still doesnt show the second row.

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

Okay, not to be annoying or double posting..But I'm reaallly stuck with this. o.o' And the thread is slowly moving to the depths of forgottenness.

well sorry! if i knew the answer i would answer it.. so be pacient. were humans not machines.. but i recommend u to stick with one blinkerbox it looks better.

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

Oops...Sorry. Lol. I didnt mean to sound rude. Just wasn't sure if the thread got forgotten.

I know what you mean aboutthe single row..But in this particular xanga..I just think two would look cooler.

Probably the blink boxes can only appear once.
I dunno.

[Pulchritude]

yea maybe that particular code can only be placed once but if u saw another xanga that has 2 set of blinker boxes try asking them how they did it.

[talcumpowder]

=S Okay, so the closest I got was a non-blinking row and a blinking row. It looks freaky. But I got them to show up, just not blink.
Hm.... I suppose you could always MAKE a blink box.... But that'd take a long time.... Pft. I can't think of any other way to show two.....

[lawmaniac_98]

hmmm how about if we put the blinky code on..then put ur banner on..then put another blinky code in but inside a div code?...and check ur div codes and make sure they're right cuz u said earlier that it didn't work...so just try perhaps it might help

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

Okay, Well. >.> It 'might' be that particular code, you're right. I can look around and try to find a few diff ones..And let you know if 'that' works.

I couldn't even get a second row to not blink. o.o; How did you manage 'that'? @ Nyah-Nek0. It's frustrating though, isn't it? It 'should' work, according to what I'd figure..But it just doesn't.

Annnd. To the last person about the div codes. I dont..exactly know what a div code is. The code I got off create blog for the blink boxes works, just only for one row. o.O Someoen suggested I tried using a div code too..But I think I did that wrong. Hm. I like your idea about putting all the codes in one code..er, I think that's what you meant. If you did, could you help? o.o' I'm only learning html and css.
