Hello everyone.:)

Ever wondered how you could make your chat much better than it currently is? Well, this little mini-guide will tell you a few ways to get more acquainted with the ways of "fancy chats."

First, it is highly suggested that you become knowledgeable in at least basic HTML coding. HTML stands for Hyper-Text Markup Language, but thats not really important for the basics. If you would like to begin to learn some HTML, you can find several websites online that give free lessons, such as here (http://htmlhelp.com/).

You may have noticed that many chats have introductions when you first enter the chat, those are actually very common. You would go to your chat's Edit and enter the following codes. That is for pup-up messages.

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">alert("Welcoming Message!") </SCRIPT>
<BODY onUnload="alert('Leaving Message.');">

These are merely optional, but "fancy" t add to your chats.

Most people enjoy for their chats to be filled with beautiful backgrounds or artwork or even graphics. If you have not found one you like on your own, you can go here... (http://xat.com/Official_Graphic_Gallery?p=0)

Now, you can add many other features such as games, videos, et cetera, but these are things that will most definitely boost the fancy in your chat, so with that, I wish you good luck on all of your chat creations.:)

For any help, I suggest going to xat.com/help

This is my type of thread :cool:, Anyway i make this sorta "Pretty" or "cool" Backgrounds. As well as those Pop-ups and those scrolling things you see once in a while. (called marquees).

Heres a Marquee code.... <MARQUEE bgcolor="#000000" loop="-1" scrollamount="4" width="70%">

<font color="red" face="modern">

Put your text here.

</font>
</MARQUEE> you can change "4" to a slower set, as well as make the width bigger. Or maybe you wanna change the "red" to a diff color.
Idk its up to you.



Heres a No right click code....


<script language="Javascript1.2">

message = "The message you want to show up goes here.";

function NoRightClick() {
if(((navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer")&&(event.button > 1))
||((navigator.appName=="Netscape")&&(b.which > 1))){
alert(message);
return false;
}
}
document.onmousedown = NoRightClick;

// -->
</script>



Or maybe a Marquee scroll for your rules..... heres a example.
This also has CSS in it. CSS works best for frames.



</marquee>
<div style="margin:300px auto;width:400px;text-align:left;padding:10px;background-color:silver;border:1px solid black;">
<!-- HTML codes by Tayden --->
<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="up"></font> <font color=blue>
<FONT SIZE=6>.::Rules::.</FONT><BR> <BR> <BR>
</font>
<font color=gold>
<FONT SIZE=3>
1. Rule 1<BR><BR>
2. Rule 2<BR><BR>
3. Rule 3<BR><BR>
4. Rule 4<BR><BR>
5. Rule 5<BR><BR>
6. Rule 6<BR><BR>
Failure to follow these rules will result in either ban or kick.</FONT>

</marquee> </div>

You can edit the .::rules::. Part to what you want.

You can edit where the Rule 1, rule 2 and so on are.

You can also edit the failure to follow rules thing.



Heres a few simple things.

If you want to change the color of your text you do this

</font> <font color=yourcolorhere>

Or change how big it is....

<FONT SIZE=numberhere>Your Text Goes Here</FONT>

Anyway, If you would like a background or some type of graphic made just pm me on here, or find me on xat. Im on the Chatroom www.xat.com/StaticX Often so you can go there and find me.

Thanks, these codes will help.. although I already knew about
The <font color ="blue">Text here.</font> And <font size ="8">text here.</font>...
That is just basic html o.o

You can also use this code to customize the size, and color at once.

<font size ="8"><font color ="red">Text Here</font>

Hey, I noticed some owners in the cbox of mine are able to have little messages scrolling at the bottom of the chatbox. How do you do it?

Edit: Nevermind.. found it on another form for a scrolling message. ^^;;

Does that only work for IE? Can you make it work for firefox and Safari?
