i think my codes are wrong...anybody know what's wrong...i even try to add this site meter (tracker, counter) to a specific location (under the black area of the banner)..but it's not working
this is the code

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><span style='mso-ignore:vglayout;position:<br />absolute;z-index:1;margin-left:-374px;margin-top:-30px;width:120px;height:27px'><img src="http://c6.statcounter.com/counter.php?sc_project=664808&amp;java=0&amp;security=06e9562c" alt="free geoip" border="0"></span><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

i am using firefox 1.0.3
could someone tell me what's wrong?
thanks

The page loaded pretty fast, but then it lagged a lot. I think it might be the animations? Are they big files because their quality is good. I don't see anything wrong with your codes.

[talcumpowder]

It might be the z-index. That property doesn't work wll in Firefox....
BTW, it might just be dial-up or DSL internet that it lags on, because it's not lagging on mine.... I uae cable, and it loaded in about two seconds and lagged once because it wasn't done loading and I tried to scroll down.

[nigashorty]

actually im on a 4mb cable line..and it doesnt lag when loading ....the gif image that is animating (my banner) is only 150kb...it lags once it loads...kind of awkward....but doesnt lag in IE

[YourSuperior]

Maybe it's just firefox doing that?

i have DSL and it loaded pretty fast

[lovescream]

It loads real real fast for me, and no lag. I'm using IE. I think it's your internet, your computer, your programs that are opened, or something.
Maybe if you have too many programs opened, sometimes it'll lag. Or your computer's real slow because of how much space you have.

[nigashorty]

ok..but can yall tell me how to put the statcounter image i have above in the code box..on my page in a specific location? ..i tried position absolute..but it's not working..i'm trying to position it right under the "Rated R: Restricted black area" part of the banner....***not under the banner

Spiritedfreak: i have a pretty fast computer with 1024mb ddr..and 320g hdd's...xanga is the only page that freezes my firefox when i try to load my page...

[mysticalazxn]

i use EI and use DSL
it don't lagg for me. but if you have 56k, or weak computer, then i can see why it lagg with animation.

nothing wrong with coding.

[talcumpowder]

Uh.... You use a div layer?

CODE

<div style="postion:absolute; margin-left: 50; margin-top:200;">CODE GOES HERE</div>

[nigashorty]

nope that isnt working

[talcumpowder]

You are changeing the coordinates of the div layer, right? Because I kinda just made up numbers....
Other than that, it should work properly if you input your code and close off the div layer.

[nigashorty]

it keep on going under the banner..i tried other numbers..but they either go on top, left, or right of the banner..it dont want to overlap the banner(go in front of)..and when i put in your code...i get white space areas....

[talcumpowder]

Put it directly after any image code you have. Perhaphs you might need to add height width and overfloow properties....

[nigashorty]

i put the code directly under the banner code...
can u type me the overflow code?

thanks

[talcumpowder]

Here is a complete div layer code.... That I ripped from my current Xanga layout. o.O

CODE

<div style="position:static; margin-left: 360px; margin-top: -390px; overflow:auto; height:140; width:155; align:"left;">CODE HERE</div>

[nigashorty]

i checked my page with this html error checking...and received 200 errors? ...nothing seem wrong ..but why so many? http://validator.w3.org/

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%...%3Dshorty_s2ooo

[whomps]

Xanga uses/needs different coding than websites, I think. That's probably why you had about 200 errors..
Your site didn't lag on my computer. Loaded pretty fast.. and when I moved the scrollbar up and down really fast it didn't lag.

[nigashorty]

via firefox? ...it loads fine with IE...but i dont use IE anymore...its too open to hackers, spywares, popups, etc...

[whomps]

Yes.. it's working the same with Firefox and IE. Fast.

[nigashorty]

hmm that's wierd...

[nigashorty]

hey i found out what was wrong...i tried removing my embedding song..and it loads quick now...now the thing is finding the right code for it to work for firefox..the one i am using now is working for IE and firefox...but its freezes...anyone happen to know the right code?
