Please be patient, when someone with a possible answer passes, I'm sure he/she'll post it. Meanwhile, don't post IN CAPS! and may I remind you that double/triple posting isn't tolerated unless separated by 24 hours (Please use the edit button)

That requires Javascript to do. Where it would be inserted on forumotion I don't know. I suggest Googling "javascript", There are thousands of sites on the web that have free ascripts available that could probably be edited to do what you want.

Do a little research.

One website you can check out is www.grsites.com.

To put the personalized menu on your board use the script generator

i dont want a menu... i want a button that wen u click on it it makes a HTML chabox appear. then wen u click on it again it closes it.

EDIT:

if avalible... can some1 give me a example of wat was said above.

EDIT:

another example of this that i jsut found is on the FAQ of our site. where u click it and it drops down but u click again and it goes back up. i want to do that except with a HTML chatbox.

The only thing that isnt workin on it is it wont show up default collapsed. and it wont go back away after i click retract.

wen it says

Copy and paste the following code into the top of your page (either right after the <BODY> tag, or inside of the <HEAD> ... </HEAD> tag). Do this only once per page, even if you are putting more than one box with expandable content onto that page.
Code:
 <script language="javascript"> // Expandable content script from flooble.com. // For more information please visit: // http://www.flooble.com/scripts/expand.php // Copyright 2002 Animus Pactum Consulting Inc. //---------------------------------------------- var ie4 = false; if(document.all) { ie4 = true; } function getObject(id) { if (ie4) { return document.all[id]; } else { return document.getElementById(id); } } function toggle(link, divId) { var lText = link.innerHTML; var d = getObject(divId); if (lText == '+') { link.innerHTML = '−'; d.style.display = 'block'; } else { link.innerHTML = '+'; d.style.display = 'none'; } } </script>

where do i put that in on my portal. Cause then it gives me the HTML to the object itself and says i need to put that first code in to do it. help plz

Try just putting in the second part.

I thought you had template editing

by cclloyd9785 on Tue Jul 22, 2008 1:36 pm

so do u mean put it after teh HTML of the menu itself or inside it.

EDIT:

The only place i got it to work right so far is on a HTML page with the header and the bar itself one after the other. but wen i try to do that on a block it doesnt work. it says i need to find the top spot on the portal to put it. iv tried adding it to my first header block but it doesnt work.
its supposed to be invisible at startup but its visible and wont become visible until i get it to work so tell me where to put it plz.

EDIT:

i found a diff code that works for me. but can some1 look through the code and tell me wat to change to make the default position collapsed instead of visible

Code:: <center> <table border="0"><tr><td valign=toponmouseover = "this.style.cursor = 'normal'" onmouseout = "this.style.cursor = 'normal'"onClick='this.parentNode.nextSibling.style.display = (this.parentNode.nextSibling.style.display == "none") ? "" : "none";'> <span style="color:#9fd33a"><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: normal"> Members Only Clan War Portal Chatbox (Click Here) </span> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <embed src="http://www.xatech.com/web_gear/chat/chat.swf" quality="high" width="630" height="405" name="chat" FlashVars="id=31673380" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://xat.com/update_flash.shtml" /> <br> </td> </tr> </table> </center>
