minimize xanga modules (photo) Options

[jbongo]

ok, for those of you who like using codes on your xanga page you may know that there is some code to minimize your side modules. this particular code was written by easteregg, but he no longer works with code for xanga. with the release of the photo module (aka javascript module) the code also minimizes that. you can set the code to minimize or not minimize the first module that has your information in it (that is on the left). i was wondering if it was possible to edit the code so it would not minimize the photo (java) module.

here is the code to minimize the modules...

to see what the script does and the photo module go here,

<script type="text/javascript">

displayTopModule = 1;

allTables = document.getElementsByTagName('table');

leftSideModules = new Array();
for (i=0; i<allTables.length; ++i)
{
if (allTables[i].className == 'left')
{
allTables[i].id = 'leftsidemod' + leftSideModules.length;
leftSideModules.push(allTables[i]);

You should submit this to Xanga Scripts.

While I personally don't think it's possible (the class for the "photo module" happens to be the same, which would make it the last module), perhaps someone else could do so?

man, it took me a while to get back this. i don't use it much anyhow. but i found a solution for it a long time ago. since they closed it i couldn't reply. here is the fix.. (remember this is only good with the old xanga look and feel. It does not work with the new themes as far as I'm aware. If i'm wrong please let me know)

at the beginning you set either 1 or 0 (like the Display top module option)
