Script Help., Disabling a DIV via href Options

[SJ_Kim]

I want a script that makes my floating chatterbox (in a DIV tag) to disappear when the URL location is not the home page (xanga.com/home.aspx?users=[username]) because it screws up the comments page. Can anybody help me?

[largosama]

can we see your xanga

[SJ_Kim]

It's at here. Notice that when you press "add comments" or such, the chatterbox floats above the entry and makes it half-unreadable. I want to make a script that would make it invisible depending on the URL.

[largosama]

you can put the chatterbox code in the javascript module in your look and feel page

[SJ_Kim]

I know that... but I've used a script to disable the regular modules and insert custom ones, and it removes the Javascript module, so I put it in that DIV.

[largosama]

hmmmm try this

CODE

<script lanugage="JavaScript">

function showit (whichMenu,whatState){

if (document.getElementById)
{document.getElementById(whichMenu).style.visibility = whatState; }

else {document[whichMenu].visibility = whatState;}

}

</script>

into your website stats

and

CODE

<a href="javascript:showit('flooble','hidden')">Off</a>

as the link that hides the box

I dunno I sorta wrote it for my own site so might not work with yours

[SJ_Kim]

I'm afraid I need it to execute immediately when the URL is not my home page. So that wouldn't work for me. And I can't use a button or something like that to disable it, either.

[largosama]

eh oh well I"m not that competent in javascript to do that for you so... you'll have to wait for other people.

Although I don't see why having someone manually closing it won't work

there is soon going to be a custom module code released for the right side so you can also wait for that
