okay im back with another few questions - i dont seem to be much use on these boards :-( but i try to help when i can!

Anyway ok - so some of you know i embeded my blogger / blogspot blog into my website via an iFrame. I had problems with every time a comment was published the page would refresh away from my site and go directly to blogger instead.

So i disabled bloggers commenting system and installed Intense Debate's Commenting System on my blog. It works by only refreshing within the comments frame meaning the blog doesn't refresh and the traffic stays on my site (and doesn't get directed to my site)

Right - so when you look at the embedded blog via my site My site and scroll down you should see in green (rollover orange) it says comments.

When you click comments intense debate opens up and you can comment etc.

Question 1: How can i stop this from scrolling? if you look there is a scroll bar where the comments are meaning the users have to scroll down (in the iframe) to post a comment - i would like to remove this scroll feature and just make the comments fill up the page instead.

Question 2: The actual "comments" button - The green one - Its green, but when you roll over it becomes Orange like the rest of the text. How can i change this color to stay green (ie - keep the underline rollover and keep the text color green) Blogger's color selection is done differently (meaning i dont have to edit the html if i dont want to to chance the color) which is greatish for me because im a html idiot but it means less flexibility. I can change the rollover color but it makes all the hyperlinks within the blog's rollover color change too - i only want to change the functions of that button alone.

Question 3: For users to comment via my iFrame they must click "comment" how can i make the comment link automatically open when the page is loaded? meaning the comments are always there and in a sense "advertising" that you can comment?

Question 4: When someone has an Intense debate account and they are logged in (eg myself) and they try to comment on my blog the following happens. 1 the comments to not automatically appear - they have to click "comments" to make it appear. They click the green button to comment and the comment box appears and the last comment appears. if they want to view the rest of the comments they need to click "comment" ( another green button which came out of nowhere below the comment box) and then finally all the comments load and the comment box loads

Links to my blogger template code: My Blogger Code (right click and "save target as" otherwise it looks weird and doesn't show all elements)

So any takers?

i know its a handful but i dont really know any other site to ask on. I've tried posting and emailing intense debate on this but there has been no answer in the forum for 2 days now and support still have not replied.

and google's blogger forum doesn't know because intense debate is not a standard feature of blogger / blogspot - its an extension

Well, did intensedebate give you any configuration options? I assume both the iframe and the button come from their script. Am I right?

they do give configuring options BUT there hardly advanced - there more for eg: allowing comment moderation, removing specific social bookmarking buttons from comments, flagging comments etc.

they dont really dab in bloggers layout - and i have a feeling the code problems are more to do with blogger then to do with intense-debate....kind of - there sort of paired together because although comments is disabled in blogger blogger is still aware there are comments going to be put on the site because it generates a comments link to intense-debates application.

as for iframe its not really an iframe - i dont know how it actually embedded because it was more of an automated process through intense-debate and blogger together (keeping the user from seeing the daunting code pasting process) because it also implements into the CSS (i think) of blogger.

so like i said its kind of a joint operation between blogger/blogspot and intense-debate

I'm guessing the comment script writes the iframe and then there isn't much you can do about it.
