Time-based Progress Bar w/ Geocities

Script: Time-based Progress Bar
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...mlprogress.htm

Progress bar doesn't seem to work with geocities. Probably due to Geocities' add ins to the script that could be in conflict with it.

This is the website source code:

How do i make the Progress Bar work on my Geocities?

Geocities (as are many free hosts) is a poor hosting choice when you are planning on using much javascript. Free hosts generally, Geocities in particular, put many of their own scripts on your page automatically when you upload them. These scripts often conflict with some or all of your own scripts on your page rendering them nonfunctional or dysfunctional. The real test is, if it works locally but, not on Geocities, it could well be script conflicts, there are other possibilities. Two of the biggest conflicts arise when your script uses i or j as variables (Geocities hi-jacks those for its own scripts) or if your scripts attempt to put offsite material inside a frame or iframe on Geocities (they've got scripts designed to prevent that). In the first case you can change all i's used as variables to other more complex variable names, same with j's but, of course, use a different name for all the j's used as variables. The second problem has no work around that I know of.

Hmm.. lol. yes im kinda new at this scripting jazz and i appreciate what your telling me. So.. how do i replace i or j variables? i guess what im asking is where are the i or j variables? I feel stupid lol. On another thread somone had problems with the Dynamic Splash Screen Effect and someone posted a modified script. It worked very nice. Anyways.. do you guys have a tutorial of some sort to modify scripts to work with free host like geocities?

If that is the problem and the only problem, then changing this:

Code:

//THIS FUNCTION BY MIKE HALL OF BRAINJAR.COM
function findlayer(name,doc){
var i,layer;
for(i=0;i<doc.layers.length;i++){
layer=doc.layers[i];
if(layer.name==name)return layer;
if(layer.document.layers.length>0)
if((layer=findlayer(name,layer.document))!=null)
return layer;
}
return null;
}

in timerbar.js to this:

Code:

//THIS FUNCTION BY MIKE HALL OF BRAINJAR.COM
function findlayer(name,doc){
var xdt,layer;
for(xdt=0;xdt<doc.layers.length;xdt++){
layer=doc.layers[xdt];
if(layer.name==name)return layer;
if(layer.document.layers.length>0)
if((layer=findlayer(name,layer.document))!=null)
return layer;
}
return null;
}

will take care of it.
