Problem with <span> on wordpress

**acwder** · 07-21-2008, 09:19 PM

Hey.

I got a problem with using a countdowntimer on my wordpress site (www.orkfia-portal.com), Im using a span id to display this.

I can get it to work on basic sites like this: http://www.orkfia-portal.com/wordpre...10/counter.php but when I try to implent it on my wordpress frontpage it just doesnt work. it shows the box but wont show the span.

here is the header.php where Im putting it:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="realtime.countdown.v1.1.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function load() {
	countdown('a', "September 4, 2008 00:00:00", 3, 'Orkfia');
	}
</script>
	<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.orkfia-portal.com/icon.ico" />
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
	<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
	<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

	<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>

	<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body onload="load()">

	</ul></center>
<div id="container"><div id="page">










<div id="header">
	<div class="topmenu">
	<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1></div>
	
</div>

It feels like quite a mess, what Im trying to add is a <div id="counter"><span id="a"></span></div> and preferbly a href around it but dunno if its possbile.
Im trying to put it on the banner which is just next to that </h1>.

Ultimate would be to have it on the upper right corner of the banner but atm I would just be happy if I could get it to work.

Cheers for any help that could be provided, (didnt know which sections this should be put in so I put it here)

it could possibly be due to the fact that you are calling the script from a location that it is not located in. try downloading from this link, it doesn't work

hmm ok I'll try it out, thought it worked like the themes, it calls from the theme folder.

well, when I was viewing it through firebug it was saying that it wasn't found. So you might try direct linking to it.

success, thx

Would it be possible to like push it more to the left of the banner? using float:right atm, dunno if its possible but it would be nice to move it enough to show that "icon"

think I got it sorted now, still need to decide if I wanna keep that position or not but now I know how to edit it

thx again

no problem, you could also add some transparency to the div so as not to COMPLETELY cover up the image behind it if you wanted.

Add this:

Code:

filter:alpha(opacity=90);
-moz-opacity:0.9;
-khtml-opacity: 0.9;
opacity: 0.9;
