Blank Sidebox, no borders or header, just blank

[chris32882]

How can I make a new sidebox with no border or header

[gjh42]

Install the Blank Sidebox, giving it a unique name, and style that id in the stylesheet:

#myBlankSideBox {border: none;}
#myBlankSideBoxHeading {display: none;}
#myBlankSideBoxContent {border: none;}

with whatever other properties you wish.

  $content .= '<p>' . TEXT_LIVEHELP_SIDEBOX . '</p>';
  $content .= '<a href="javascript:void(window.open('http://localhost/livezilla/livezilla.php','','width=600,height=550,left=0,top=0,resizable=yes,menubar=no,location=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes'))"><img src="http://localhost/livezilla/image.php?id=01" width="191" height="69" border="0" alt="Live Help"></a><noscript><div><a href="http://localhost/livezilla/livezilla.php" target="_blank">Start Live Help Chat</a></div></noscript><!-- http://www.LiveZilla.net Chat Button Link Code --><!-- http://www.LiveZilla.net Tracking Code --><div id="livezilla_tracking" style="display:none"></div><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

One problem is here. The ' before http is seen as terminating the text string, which then allows the // to be seen as a comment which wipes out the rest of the line.

If you need to use a single quote inside a single-quoted string, escape it like this: \' .

I don't know javascript, but the comment tags overlapping with the script tags don't look right.

yeah I'm not sure, thats the code livzialla produced to put on a website

[gjh42]

The opening script tag is at the end of the $content line, in the commented section:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">

So that is correct; you just need to escape the special characters so they get output instead of acting immediately.

$content .= '<a href="javascript:void(window.open(\'http://localhost/livezilla/livezilla.php\',\'\',\'width=600,height=550,left=0,top=0,resizable=yes,menubar=no,location=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes\'))"><img src="http://localhost/livezilla/image.php?id=01" width="191" height="69" border="0" alt="Live Help"></a><noscript><div><a href="http://localhost/livezilla/livezilla.php" target="_blank">Start Live Help Chat</a></div></noscript><!-- http://www.LiveZilla.net Chat Button Link Code --><!-- http://www.LiveZilla.net Tracking Code --><div id="livezilla_tracking" style="display:none"></div><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--

// -->
