obviously, i would like help. I don't be any stretch of the word need this, but it would be nice.
So here's the problem. I continue to edit my blog's HTML code.
I'm using cheap blogger software and a predesigned template, but i edit it little by little. I'm using Universal(Unicode UTF-8) encoding. The two main things i have a problem with are my scroll bar colors and javavscript.
When i preview them, everything looks alright, but when i actually view it on the web, it decides not to look how it's supposed to. The scroll bar doesn't change color, no matter what browser I'm using, and the javascript, which is a clock that follows your pointer, won't position itself how i want it to.
If it would be helpfull i can post parts of (or the whole) code.
Any help would be appreciated, but like i said, this is really just for fun, and therefore not incredibly important.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

you have a link so we can see what the problem looks like when you publish it up?

specificallly, the clock should be right at the top right corner of the point and the scroll bar should match the blogger bar.

I've got to tell you, man, a clock that follows my pointer all the time is worse than Clippy. A clock that just followed my pointer for a few seconds and then went back to being, y'know, a clock -- if I grant for a second the need for a website to display a clock, which I don't -- would be preferable.

I agree. Clock with pointer is the height of annoyance, for me at least.

What's the breadth of annoyance?

So, to clarify, you're asking us to help debug the exact positioning of a script so that you can tick people off with per-pixel accuracy?

Yeah - I don't think you will find anyone here who will actually help you make this work, if they don't like the feature themselves, and don't want it to work...

Local Commercials and Wacky FM DJs
Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :
So (local commercials + FM DJs) * clocks that follow pointers = area of annoyance.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
It would be tough to multiply those two together though.

I think I shall make a formal addendum to my markup/programming help that it must have at least some possible argument for usability behind it . . .

A pop-up add that followed my pointer would push the annoyance level up a few miles.

A pop-up add for Viagra would make it higher for me, but then, I guess that's what it's supposed to do.

Exactly. The units would be in annoyance, squared.
