Just noticed that a little white block has appeared on all my pages

For the life of me I can't see where it is in the code and how to remove it.

Any help would be appreciated

Didn't see a white dot but your text near the top of the screen
is a bit scrambled!!

I also have a little white dot on my pages. I recently added the updated stretchy slideshow code but this may not be related at all.

looks to me like you're using a stat counter....

Yeah I do but I have been using it way before this dot arrived. This problem has starting in the last few days/weeks.

well, regardless of when it started, that's the culprit...take a look at your source code...you'll see this:
******** type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter_xhtml.js (http://www.dgrin.com/view-source:http://www.statcounter.com/counter/counter_xhtml.js)"></********<noscript><div

see the img tag....

Yeah, just noticed that myself.

I have re-entered the statcounter code and it appears to have fixed the problem

Thanks :thumb

On second thoughts....

IT'S BACK !!

It can't be the Statcounter code.. I have just removed the code and the little white box is still visible :scratch

told you it was the wrong code! ha! let me get it again, but it is stat counter...it's looking at wordpress stats, or something like that...lemme look again....

here's the code i see associated with it:


******** type="text/javascript">
var sc_project=4104350;
var sc_invisible=1;
var sc_partition=49;
var sc_click_stat=1;
var sc_security="c4c65338";

Not convinced it is statcounter related.

Looking at the source of the other guys website who are suffering from the same problem, there is no mention of Statcounter

i've only looked at yours...have you hovered over the little box? when i do it wants to take me to statcounter.com regarding wordpress (see my post above)....

the box for the other user is associated with the folllowing:

<iframe src="http://www.smugmug.com/include/js/cookiemonster.mg?returnTo=http://raymondphotos.com (http://www.dgrin.com/view-source:http://www.smugmug.com/include/js/cookiemonster.mg?returnTo=http://raymondphotos.com)" id="cookieMonsterIframe" height="1" width="1"></iframe>

Looking at the source of the other guys website who are suffering from the same problem, there is no mention of Statcounter It has nothing to do with StatCounter. It's something new Smugmug put in your page and I don't think it's supposed to be visible.

It's coming from this new code in this page:

YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(function() {
var body= document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0];
var iframe = document.createElement('iframe');
iframe.id = 'cookieMonsterIframe';
iframe.src = 'http://www.smugmug.com/include/js/cookiemonster.mg?returnTo=http://www.lukejphotography.com';
iframe.width = "1";
iframe.height = "1";
YAHOO.util.Dom.setStyle('cookieMonsterIframe','position','absolute');
body.appendChild(iframe);
});

And, you can hide it with this CSS:

#cookieMonsterIframe {display:none;}

his (the OP) goes directly to statcounter if you click on it...the other user i see is associated with the iframe, as you suggested...

Scott, I also noticed that you are missing a </div> in your custom header. When you add that, the little white dot moves to the end of your page instead of the middle of your page.

There's no </div> at the end of your custom header to close off the

<div id="myHeader">

Count up the matching <div> and </div> tags in your custom header and you'll find that you're missing one.
