can anyone give me a code that will enable away status on my forums?

Number 1, this is not the proper place to post these kinds of questions.

Number 2, the code largely depends on the kind of forums you use, and it's not CSS... If you have no knowledge of the underlaying technology, you rather not modify your forums' code.

i know what type of forum i have and i know what works on this. i am sorry if this is in the wrong forum. and if u have ever heard of fmods.com, then i am one of the development team members. so i think i know what i am doing.

but my forum isn't php

Well, it's either PHP, ASP, JSP, Python, Ruby or any other type of dynamic web platform language, but it isn't CSS. What forum platform are you using? Invision's IP.Board?

No offense, but you do not seem to have any knowledge on web technologies.

The CSS could be just hiding the controls for Away status.

this is the online offline code i am using. i don't think css is hiding it.

code:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!-- Online Status Indicator for Forumer

onlineStatus = "<p style='color:green;font-weight:bold'><img src='http://img86.exs.cx/img86/6840/useronline6oh.gif' alt='Online'> Online</p>"
offlineStatus = "<p style='color:red;font-weight:bold'><img src='http://img91.exs.cx/img91/5369/useroffline9qd.gif' alt='Offline'> Offline</p>"

document.write("<iframe name='index' src='{ibf.script_url}act=Online&CODE=listall&sort_key=click' style='display:none' onload='harvest()'></iframe>")

function harvest()
{
var td = window.frames["index"].document.getElementsByTagName("td")
for(var i = 0; i < td.length; i++){
if(td[i].className == "row1" && td[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.innerHTML.match("Online Users")){
var tdi = td[i]
harvestLinks(tdi);
}
}
}

function harvestLinks(tdi){
var a = tdi.getElementsByTagName("A")
var names = new Array(a.length)
for(i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
if(a[i].href.match("showuser=")){
names[i] = a[i].innerHTML.replace(/<[^>]+>/g, "")
updateStatus(names);
}
}
}

function updateStatus(names)
{
td=document.body.getElementsByTagName("TD")
for(s=0;s<td.length;s++) {
if((td[s].className=="post1"||td[s].className=="post2")&&td[s].innerHTML.match("Posts: ")&&td[s].width!="100%") {
var poste=td[s].getElementsByTagName("SPAN")[0]
var postName=td[s].parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("SPAN")[0].getElementsByTagName("A")[0];
for(j = 0; j < names.length; j++){
if(postName.innerHTML==names[j])
{
var replacoo=poste.getElementsByTagName("DIV");
for(p=0;p<replacoo.length;p++){
if(replacoo[p].className=="ShowOn"){
replacoo[p].innerHTML=onlineStatus;
}
else{
//good is sin
}
}
}
}
}
}
}


function OfflineWhen(){
td=document.body.getElementsByTagName("TD")
for(s=0;s<td.length;s++) {
if((td[s].className=="post1"||td[s].className=="post2")&&td[s].innerHTML.match("Posts: ")&&td[s].width!="100%") {
var poste=td[s].getElementsByTagName("SPAN")[0]
if(! poste.innerHTML.match("ShowOn")){
poste.innerHTML += "<br /><div class='ShowOn'>"+offlineStatus+"</div>"
}
}
}
}

OfflineWhen()
// -->
</script>

Ok, first of all I can clearly see in the code that you are using IP.Board from Invision. Second, why use client side scripting that will fail on workstations with Javascript disabled when you could do the exact same in alot less work directly in the PHP code (Yes, IPB is coded in PHP).

Not to sound rude, but either fmods are accepting anyone in their staff, or they made a mistake by accepting you. Client side scripting should NEVER BE USED if the same could be achived using Server-side scripting (AJAX excluded, but in that case it's an even mix of the two).

(And this is the dirtiest javascript code I have ever seen.)

watever, and i didn't make that online code. someone else did. my codes are much more organized and not so complicated, but i am too lazy at this moment to make a new code. and i was posting that at 1am...so i couldn't think straight. so, DO NOT say that FMODS is accepting anyone becuz they aint! trust me, i wasn't thinking (don't try to make a joke out of this!)

It's still client-side. You could really simplify your code by making modifications to the forum's PHP code (and if you say your forum isn't PHP it just means you have not enough knowledge to make those kinds of modifications to a forum system). Like WDZ and I tried to say, never use client-side scripting languages unless necessary.
