I Need Help With The 3d Spinning Message

[pinoyscrplaya517]

Hey! Well let's see. I am having trouble with this code because it won't show up on my xanga when I put it into my website stats. Can anyone tell me why it won't show up or can anybody tell me what I have to do to get this following code on my xanga:

<xml:namespace ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" prefix="v"/>
<style type="text/css">
v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); }
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

Hey it's me again (the one who started this thread)! The code I put wasn't supposed to have smilies but for some reason when I started the thread they put smilies.

[ddadmin]

Hi:
For future reference and per our rules/sticky, please do not post the entire source code of the script, simply the link to the page on DD in question. FYI you can disable smilies from showing in a post by checking the "Disable smilies" checkbox at the end of the form when posting.

Someone Help Me Please!!!!!!!!sheesh!!

Calm down dear.

Can you post a link to an example for us of it not working? Just saying "it doesn't work" and pasting a chunk of code really doesn't help us help you.

Here's my xanga! See it does not work. When I put the DHTML code in it moves my xanga to the left instead of centering it. Then, it does not even show the 3D spinning message.

There's more than one script running on this page, it could well be a conflict.

Also, you have not implemented the code correctly. The <xml>, the very first bit needs to be in the head.

In my opinion you really need to get rid of the on-enter popup message. That just made me want to leave, not enter

Hey! Can you please tell me how to put the code on correctly. For example, where do u put everything. Can u please not be so vague as your last post when you said you put the very first bit of <xml> in the head.

[cr3ative]

This:

<xml:namespace ns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" prefix="v"/>
<style type="text/css">
v\:* { behavior: url(#default#VML); }
</style>

Needs to be inbetween your two existing tags <head> and </head>. Put it anywhere inbetween those two tags in the HTML code.

There may also be a script conflict. That is when two scripts use the same function/variable names and get very confuzzled.

I still don't understand what to do. What are the <head> tags?
