Reading Engadget, I noticed a “DONATE NOW. KATRINA RELIEF” animated gif banner on the upper right corner of their website. Being that we need as much help as we can, it was a very interesting idea. Looking at their code, it was just linking straight to http://www.redcross.org/.
Being that everyone is just trying to raise money for the relief effort, “taking” this idea wasn’t against my morals.
The code was very simple. The original code was:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
document.write('<div style="position: absolute; left: 100%; top: 0px; overflow: visible; height: 120px; width: 120px; margin: 0 0 0 -120px; padding: 0; z-index: 9999; border: none; float: none;"><img xsrc="http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/media/red-cross.gif" mce_src="http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/media/red-cross.gif" width="120" height="120" border="0" usemap="#rc"></div><map name="rc"><area shape="poly" coords="0,0,120,0,120,120" xhref="http://www.redcross.org/" mce_href="http://www.redcross.org/" ></map>');
// -->
</script>
I took out the javascript and made it valid XHTML 1.0 Strict. I also hosted the image from http://www.weblogsinc.com/common/media/red-cross.gif to a free local host. You may want to host it on your own host. All you have to do it add it anywhere on your page. I added it right after <body>.
<div style="position: absolute; left: 100%; top: 0px; overflow: visible; height: 120px; width: 120px; margin: 0 0 0 -120px; padding: 0; z-index: 9999; border: none; float: none;"><img xsrc="http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3301/redcross3pr.gif" mce_src="http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/3301/redcross3pr.gif" style="width: 120px; height: 120px; border: 0;" usemap="#rc" alt="Donate Now" /><map id="rc" name="rc"><area shape="poly" coords="0,0,120,0,120,120" xhref="http://www.redcross.org/" mce_href="http://www.redcross.org/" alt="Donate Now" /></map></div>
If anyone at engadget thinks my actions was wrong, please just contact me via email and I will take down this post, being that I am only trying to help with the relief effort.
ok for some reason, neither the original script or your edited version will work on my blog:( any suggestions????
