I've been working forever on a new layout for my website. Now I wanted to use a chromeless window. So I go to the page on Lissa's site with everything there and follow the directions very carefully. It doesn't work!!!

My site is www.geocities.com/laffzers...
The chromeless is www.geocities.com/laffzers/fptest...
The iframe inside the chromeless is www.geocities.com/laffzers/BLOGGIE.htm

HELP!!! :(

you are missing a whole part of the code so i dunno if you read carefully but try this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to Fuzzie's Place!</title>
<style type="text/css">
A:visited{color:F7A5DE; font-size:7pt; cursor:nw-resize; text-decoration: strike; font-weight:lightest}
A:hover{color:F7A5DE; text-decoration: none; cursor:nw-resize; font-weight:lightest; position:relative; background:white; left:1px; top:1px; border:1;}
A {font: 7.5pt verdana; color:F7A5DE; font-weight: bolder; cursor:n-resize; font-weight:lightest}
TD, FONT, P, BR, BODY, H1, H2 {color:F7A5DE; font-family: verdana; font-size:7pt;font-weight:none}

scrollbar-arrow-color: F7A5DE}


td
{ font-family: verdana;

padding-left: 0cm;
padding-right: 0cm;
padding-top: 0cm;
padding-bottom: 0cm;
padding: 0cm;
padding: 0cm }

input, textarea
{ background: white;

Oh I sure hope that works...I had the code before and it didn't...the long one. But maybe it was because I didn't have those head and body tags. I didn't know they were that important! *^_^*

when I used Geocities it didn't work for me either :( I don't think it lets you. so I started a site at http://www.brinkster.com but now I'm hosted by someone. my site right now doesn't have one though. so yeah I think it's geocities...which is bad :( sorry I couldn't help you more

Don't be ashamed. I've tried it on Geocities, too. Since you can't upload .js, .zip, .swf, types of files, you're pretty much bummed out on the Geocities server/host since they only permit uploading .gif or .jpeg (.jpg). Try Freewebs.com or HostUltra.com. They would allow you to upload those kinds of files. You can download the Chromeless window file at this website: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/chromeless.htm.

You should also know that the Chromeless Window script currently does NOT work in Windows XP from SP1 (Service Pack 1) and there on after. The problem is due to a changed behavior in XP that prevents Chromeless Windows all together (security update).

Hope this helps,

You wont unless you have downloaded and installed service packs.
