Default Digitalpoint ads

Hello guys, was wondering if you could help me hide the text ads at the bottom of the page.

Mike.

Mike,

When you say "Hide" do you mean on your site or on this forum?

Hello ResaleBroker, "Hide" was probably the wrong term, the mouse over on this forum.

I haven't had my coffee yet. What are you trying to achieve?

At the minute I have the digitalpoint co-op ads along the bottom of my forum. I would like them only to appear when the mouse hovers over it, like yours at the bottom left.

I believe that is a browser compatibility issue.

For instance, in "IE" you see the Drop Down box yet with "Firefox" you see the ads across the footer.

Here is how I did it, using passthru.php

PHP Code:
<?php

if (!function_exists('file_get_contents')) {
function 
file_get_contents($url) {
$handle fopen($url'r');
$string fread($handle4096000);
fclose($handle);
return 
$string;
}
}

include (
'ad_network.php');
echo 
preg_replace ("/<\/body>/i"'<DIV align="center" class="style30">' $ad_network[0]. '    ' $ad_network[1]. '    ' $ad_network[2] . '    ' $ad_network[3] . '    ' $ad_network[4] . '</div></body>'file_get_contents(str_replace ('../'''$_REQUEST['file'])));
?>
You have to use CSS to do it this way. Make "style 30" a similar color to your background. I would think that you would not want to make it the same color. Only a guess, but I think you would be penalized by search engines for hidden text if it were the same color.
Check my page at My Florida Homes for Sale

and my css. Make sure to add an a after style 30

Code:
.style30 a {font-size: x-small; color: #B3D3E6; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }

I misread your question. I thought you were talking about the ads on "this" forum.

Regarding "color" choice be careful not to try and "hide" the text. Not only because of Search Engines but because you would also run the risk of being "Banned" from the Ad Network.

Hiding text is never a good idea, I was testing something with the CSS dropdowns to see if they could still be read by digipoints spider but they are clearly visible. I can certainly hook you up with the CSS I used - Or you can just view source
