Posted: 12/23/02 2:39 pm All Users please read before trying any scripts in this FAQ
In many of the Javascript FAQ's there may be instructions to enter the code into the advanced section or advanced area.
Advanced HTML area becomes Custom HTML area after version 7 board update.
The advanced area or advanced section is now known as the Custom HTML area.
This can be found by entering into your control center, clicking on the 'My Community' tab and then clicking on Custom HTML link.
Please be careful when trying ANY Javascript on your board, always ensure you read any instructions carefully, if you are unsure about any instructions, please ask for help in the Javascript help forum.
Always include a descriptive subject title for your topic, always post the FAQ link you are trying to use, and please state clearly what you have tried to do, are trying to do or what you envisage the final result to look like.
TIP
It is also a very good idea to create a test board to try any script or html on before trying the code on your 'live' board. You may have to pay a small amount per year for an extra board, but you may find the investment worth it in the end.
Posted: 3/7/03 4:22 pm Troubleshooting javascript errors
When errors are reported via your browser, most possibly due to errors within the Javascript code, here are some tips to help you resolve those pesky errors.
1. Read the Javascript FAQ topic and code very carefully.
2. Ensure you use ' when ' should be used and use " when should be used. Getting these mixed up cause the majority of code errors.
3. When using text within a script, such as a news scroller, try not to use abbreviated words such as we're instead use we are in other words do not used words with ' as part of the word.
4. Missing ( or ) and { or } can also cause errors, make sure if you copy any code, no code is accidentally missed.
