Warning: Please include a link to the DD script in question in your post. See this thread for the proper posting format for asking a question.
PLEASE: Include the URL to your problematic webpage that you want help with.

Are you using same color text on same color background? Possibly without realizing it?

No biggie on the rules, lots of folks miss them. I still need a link to or a copy of your problem page pasted in a message to help.

Well, that went well. Code works fine. I meant your page that you have trouble with. If that same page doesn't work on your server, it means it is likely that your server is adding something (like a script) to the page which conflicts with the splash script. If that's the trouble, I need a link to the page in a location where it is behaving badly. You don't have to put it up and make your page look bad, set up a demo in a side directory or stick the page up on your site and call it problem.htm. Once again, need to see the problem. BTW who's your host?

**Jag400234** · 04-06-2005, 03:58 AM

oh the reason I put the one from the Dynamic Drive Website is because thats exactly how it looks on my site except I changed what it says. My host is Yahoo Geocities. and it works it just wont show the text. BTW thanks for all your help.

**jscheuer1** · 04-06-2005, 04:11 AM

Geocities huh, I happen to have experience, trouble shot a page on there for another person. They have lots of scripts they stick on there. In particular, they use the variables 'i' and 'j'. I see 'i' is used in this script but not 'j', try this modified version:

Code:

<html>

<head>
<title>Intro Screen...</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#000000" text="#FFFFFF">

<div id="splashcontainer" style="position:absolute;width:350px;"></div>

<layer id="splashcontainerns" width=450></layer>

THANKS VERY MUCH it worked fine.

**parmenti** · 04-07-2005, 08:07 AM

can I get this script to work on versions of IE above IE 4?

I have IE 6 and it just forwards to the redirect URL

Anything that can be done?

Or... is there a similar script that works on all newer versions?

Thanks for your help
