@julian Believe it or not, but I've never went there before for CSS reference, but I'll read up on it further here since of course they are the "authority" in web standards.
Ads (again) - Need helping with javascript coding though
-
In this thread @TheBronx wrote about getting around the
document.write
issue: Re: NodeBB and ads - A never ending storyMy site wasn't approved for AdSense (or DFP) due to a lack of volume. I am working on building site activity but in the meantime I have signed up with Chitika for publishing ads. Chitika uses
document.write
and I would really like to get their code bit working with the little trick that TheBronx devised.Would someone be willing to help me re-write this code block to work as he outlined?
This is what he posted:
Here is some code:
var originalFunction = document.write; overrideDocumentWriteFunction = function(container) { document.write = function(content) { container.innerHTML = content; document.write = originalFunction; }; };
And I used it like this:
var div = document.getElementById('adPlacement'); overrideDocumentWriteFunction(div); var script = document.createElement('script'); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.innerHTML = '{adsense script content}' document.body.appendChild(script);
This way the document.write function was customized to ensure the Adsense script worked after the page was loaded.
This is the Chitika ad code:
<script type="text/javascript"> ( function() { if (window.CHITIKA === undefined) { window.CHITIKA = { 'units' : [] }; }; var unit = {"calltype":"async[2]","publisher":"myPublisherId","width":728,"height":90,"sid":"Chitika Default"}; var placement_id = window.CHITIKA.units.length; window.CHITIKA.units.push(unit); document.write('<div id="chitikaAdBlock-' + placement_id + '"></div>'); }()); </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.chitika.net/getads.js" async></script>
If anyone would like to lend a hand in re-packaging their code with the proposal that TheBronx made I would be very grateful and appreciative.
Thank you.

@rod you should just be able to do something this:
First, this script should go in your footer so it won't run before your ad insertion scripts:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//cdn.chitika.net/getads.js" async></script>
Next, put the inline script where you want the ad to show up. Notice that you need to change two lines. Add the
<div...
line before the script, and change thedocument.write...
line to thedocument.getElement...
line shown below.<div id="chitika-ad"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> ( function() { if (window.CHITIKA === undefined) { window.CHITIKA = { 'units' : [] }; }; var unit = {"calltype":"async[2]","publisher":"myPublisherId","width":728,"height":90,"sid":"Chitika Default"}; var placement_id = window.CHITIKA.units.length; window.CHITIKA.units.push(unit); document.getElementById('chitika-ad').id = 'chitikaAdBlock-' + placement_id; }()); </script>

@PitaJ If I could upvote this 100 times I would. Thank you kindly.

Followup: It seems to be working fine. Ad refreshes as I navigate around the forum. No forced page reload necessary.
