Hover Ads fall in behind.

coffeegourmet · #1 11-22-2007, 03:54 AM

I have a "Hover Ad" in my website to get people to answer a survey that I have.

My problem is this:

On some of my pages it works great! Such as my homepage but it falls in behind of some of my pages such as my coffee gift baskets page.

I contacted the support people about this and got the following reply:

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your email. The cause of the problem is 2 things:

1. z-index on all your images, this causes images to appear on top of each other and my set the hover ad to appear behind your website. You may need to remove or adjust these on your site. To learn more about that code on your site, please visit:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_z-index.asp

2. HTML code is not coded correctly, check yout HTML tags. It seems like there are multipe <html> and </html> tags which can also cause this error.

I cannot seem to change the html in Blue Voda so I need help in fixing this!

Also, when I was doing a page in Blue Voda I could not type any quotes (") it kept giving me the french accented e and E. I have a new computer (with Vista) so maybe I did something with it? Anyone know how to fix this cause it is pain when trying to type stuff. No punctuation seems to work with it. ()/"[] nothing! Strange stuff.

Thanks for any help!

Chris

Your content of that code is set to be underneath the website. (sorta like layers - as if you built that ad first and then built the rest of the stuff ontop of your site).

Don't just add an HTML box.

Yeah I know it is behind the website, that is the whole problem!

What do you mean by that???

JavaScript code can be inserted either in the head of the document (between the <head> and </head> tags) or in the body (between the <body> and </body> tags). It is a good idea to always place JavaScript code in the head if you can.

<html><head><title>My Page</title>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function myFunction() {
alert('Hello world');
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:myFunction();">Click here</a>
</body>
</html>

Since the head loads before the body, placing code in the head ensures that it is available when needed. For example, the following code will work once the page has completely loaded.

<html><head><title>My Page</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:myFunction();">Click here</a>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function myFunction() {
alert('Hello world');
}
</script>
</body>
</html>

The code is in between my head tags.

For the one on my homepage (that works fine) this is "between head tag":
<script> var checkInstallMsg=false;</script>
<script language="Javascript" src="Hoverad.js"></script>
<script language="Javascript" src="HoveradEditorFunctions.js"></script>

Than the rest is in the "end of body" tag:


<div id="dropin" style="position:absolute; left:200px; top:100px; visibility: hidden;">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="tbl" style="border:thick ridge #CCCCCC">

Now I put the same code on the tea page and it will not work. That is why I am so puzzled here!

Thanks for your help so far!
