Chat box message blink ?

Hiya Guy's I want to get my Chat box being used more so is there anyway I can get the text below to BLINK and change the colour ? or anyway to add an Icon that blinks please look below you will see what I mean ?



Thank you

i don't think that there is a way to do that

but you can add your chatbox at the bottom of your index so people can use it more

Thanks Goku93, I already have it at the bottom of my index but I just need something to draw their attention to it they all know its there but they forget to use it, thank anyway

Thank you

Hello,

So, you want to highlight the chatbox link?
You can do some interesting thing via templates.
Go to AmdinCp > DIsplay > General template > index_body > scroll down and find out this part...

Code:

<!-- BEGIN switch_chatbox_activate -->
<tr>
      <td class="row1">
         <span class="gensmall">{TOTAL_CHATTERS_ONLINE}&nbsp;:&nbsp; {CHATTERS_LIST} <br />
            <!-- BEGIN switch_chatbox_popup -->
            <div id="chatbox_popup"></div>

Notice the last line...

Code:

<div id="chatbox_popup"></div>

You can put <blink> , <marquee> or any other tags around it to highlight.


You can also give a link to chat box in your nav bar or homepage message

Thank you again so if I wanted it to blink with a different colour

would I do it like this

<div id="chatbox_popup"><blink></div>

Thank you

No, it would be this...

Code:

<blink><div id="chatbox_popup"></div></blink>

...but blink would not work in IE and other old browsers.

one more question where can I add RED for the text colour

Thank you I don't know what I would do without Guy's like you

Thank you

To change color, you 'll go to your CSS and add this code...as template won't allow you to do so.

Code:

#chatbox_popup a {
color : RED !important;
}

Hi ankillien, I have changed my code for the one above as you said and published it but there is no change nothing is Blinking ? I am using Firefox latest version

Thank you

Sorry, I just checked and found that it would require CSS
This code...

Code:

#chatbox_popup a {
text-decoration : blink;
}
