msgtuff toaster?

[methos]

Does anyone remember what code the old msgstuff toaster that used to pop up was coded in? I think it was Javascript, I've been trying to think about how to go about coding something vaguely similar (a small toast that appears and disappears after a few seconds, although not of a WLM style).

The javascript is displayed from this code:
http://www.msgstuff.com/js/toast.js

To add it to a web page insert this code:

Code:

<div id="msnpopup" style="display:none;width:201px;height:116px;position:fixed;bottom:-120px;right:3px;">
<div style="background:url(/images/toasttop.png);height:23px;text-align:right;"><a href="javascript://" onclick="toast_confirm()" onmouseover="document.image6.src='/images/closeover.png'" onmouseout="document.image6.src='/images/close.png'"><img src="/images/close.png" style="margin-right:7px;margin-top:6px;" name="image6" alt="" border="0" /></a></div><a href="http://forum.msgstuff.com" target="_blank"><img src="/images/toastbottom.png" border="0" alt="" /></a>
</div>

I'm sure you can figure how this works .

Oh! Much more than I was expecting But yeah, I'll look at this and use it as a reference for my own. Thanks very much!

Eurgh, sorry about the double post but, I copied the code into a js file, added the html to a webpage and added appropriate images, but it's not working, and I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm forgetting... There should be nothing other than the two sets of code (js and html), plus the images for the main toast body, the title bar of the toast and the two closing images, right?

I've not actually looked at the code but it says at the top of the js file:
Please note this script uses PHP as well as Javascript to work.
maybe your missing the php?

The PHP code just checks for a cookie (so once the toast has been manually closed it won't appear again) and for the web browser a person is using. This script is not IE compatible, IE has an awful javascript engine .

Haha, I found the glitch. In the html code, replacing "/images/" with "images/" works. Works perfectly, thanks again!
