Bulletproof - changing the background

Hi!

Just some closing words, so that I can get closure on this.

If you want people to help you:

- Don't take offensive or insulting actions against them
- Describe your problems exactly, allow other to reproduce them, describe what you are doing, and always post error messages you receive, describing which action resulted in them
- When you fix your problem, tell the people what you did, so that it can be of help to others in the feature, and everyone can get satisfaction from it.
- When you use any foreign code to solve your problem, tell people about the name of that code/tool/application so that they can find it.
- Be appreciative for the time they take to solve your problems for free.

Having said that, good luck with anything in the future.

Best regards,
Garvin

Hi Gavin,

I posted every bit of needed info (e.g. inserted script in header, result being an error/non-display) and asked several times, how to include scripts in the header of the index.tpl and how to include a preloader script in s9y in general. I wasn't asking for a script itself. A simple "take the script and enclose it in {literal}...{/literal} tags when you paste it into the header" would have entirely answered my question. Given that still the majority of PHP-driven sites have no problem with a directly inserted (into the header) script, this isn't really that farfetched an answer. Indeed, in the plugin post, the "for the record ... no linebreaks" was quite enough to result in a now working button. A slight spot of irony to answer your own taste of that, isn't what I'd call "offensive" or "insulting", that's what humor's all about.

BTW, I never post code taken directly from a page ultimately not my own. It rarely is needed to answer such a question as the one above. The point is, that simply answering my how-to question would have immediately solved the whole problem. As to which javascript I used, quite literally the first one which came up on Google for "preloader image script"

Cheers,

Dachs
