Show post number

[Celebrus]

This code simply adds at the bottom of every post, that post's, well, number.
Preview: here.
Here is the code. Add to your headers.

Code:

<script language="Javascript>
function showpostnumber(numberoftopicstocover){
$(function() {
if(location.href.match(/topic/i)){
for(a=1;a<=numberoftopicstocover;a++){
msgstr="#msg_"+a;
texttoshow="<br><br><span class='quote'><div class='smalltext'>This is post number "+a+"</div></span><br>";
$(msgstr).append(texttoshow)
}};});};
showpostnumber(x);
</script>

I'll explain what all can be customized.
function showpostnumber(numberoftopicstocover){
$(function() {
if(location.href.match(/topic/i)){
for(a=1;a<=numberoftopicstocover;a++){
msgstr="#msg_"+a;
texttoshow="

<span class='quote'><div class='smalltext'>This is post number "+a+"</div></span>
";
$(msgstr).append(texttoshow)
}};});};
showpostnumber(x);

The red and yellow text can be changed.
Change this red one to read what you want the text before the topic number to be. Leave a space after your text, or there will be no gap between the text and the number. If you know HTML, you can edit the HTML surrounding it as well. Change the yellow text to the number of posts to be taken into account.
After that number of posts, the message showing the post number will not be shown.

And this is my first working code, so I'm <replace this with any word that expresses that feeling you get when you make your first working code>.

This is a bit confusing to me...

I jsut tried the code an it didn't work.

Once I get it to work, I will tell you how it is.

Good job for your first code though

There seems to be some problem. The first time I wrote it, it was working fine on my test forum, but now it isn't working at all.

Code:

<script language="Javascript">
function showpostnumber(numberoftopicstocover){
$(function() {
if(location.href.match(/topic/i)){
for(a=1;a<=numberoftopicstocover;a++){
msgstr="#msg_"+a;
texttoshow="<br><br><span class='quote'><div class='smalltext'>This is post number "+a+"</div></span><br>";
$(msgstr).append(texttoshow)
}};});};
showpostnumber(x);
</script>

Try that and see if it works.  There was a quotation mark missing in the first line.

it has a little rectangle on top

Now that one I definitely wouldn't know about, LOL.  Mr. Coder??? What's your take on that?

[Celebrus]

1.   When you say Mr. Coder, are you referring to me?

2.   I don't see what you mean, Frost. I don't see anything at all.

There is a small rectangle directly above and to the left of the post count.  I see it on mine, using Firefox.

[Frost]

yeah mine is on top of the post number

[Celebrus]

Well, I don't know anything about it. I can't use FireFox here how much ever I'd like to couse the user account here doesn't have install priviledges. In the cybercafe, i mean.
