live chat in sidebox

[kinembe]

i know it has been answered here already probably several times, but i am having trouble and wanted to see if there was a newer easier way.

i want to make a sidebox that displays the button that connects to livechat.

my store is Taxidermy For Sale

thanks

Search the Free Software Add Ons (link above) for chat.

it's not the chat i need, i have that.

i need to know how to make an empty sidebox that i can then put the code in that will display my button.

there really should be an easier way, maybe somewhere in the admin section, like a button to "Create New Sidebox". and then use define pages editor to edit what is inside.

Try Blank Sidebox mod from

misty, that is exactly what i needed, thanks!

...but now i have encountered another problem. i have the sidebox set up and working, well displaying text anyway...

but when i put in the code that is supplied with the free chat software i am using, the whole page disappears. maybe i can't run script in the sidebox?

this is the code that i am trying to put in the box...

<div align='center' id='VolusionLiveChat'><a href='http://www.volusion.com'>Shopping Cart Software</a></div>
<script defer type='text/javascript' src='https://livechat.volusion.com/script.aspx?id=754903' ></script>


the code works, it is displayed in the middle of the page at Taxidermy For Sale, and the sidebox is rightside top.

i have tried changing the code different ways but it seems that anything i put inside of <>'s makes the page go white.

alright, i got my sidebox working, only thing left is that it has a margin from the top to my button that i can't work out :/
