Hiding shoutbox from guests

[Paytonrain]

With the upgrade my code for hiding my shoutbox stopped working. I only want registered members to see and use it.
It might just be a small wording change I need to make so can someone help. Here is the code I used.

<script>
var username = 0;
getUser= document.getElementsByTagName('A');
for (a=0;a<getUser.length;a++){
if (getUser.href.indexOf('action=profile&username=') != -1){
username = getUser.href;
}}
if (username==0)
document.write('<style>#shoutbox {display: none;}</style>');
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

var isIn = (document.cookie.match(/user=/i))? true : false;

if(!isIn){
    document.write('<style>#shoutbox {display: none;}</style>');
}

//-->
</script>

I don't think that worked. At least it didn't totally disappear like the other code made it do but now it seems to show up even if I log out.

Here is my board the shoutbox should be at the bottom for members and not visible at all to anyone not logged in.

It works fine, the problem is that you haven't closed the div tag around the shoutbox

What do I need to close? Here is that code.

<div id="shoutbox"><center><!-- Start Shoutbox Include -->
<iframe src="http://www.shoutmix.com/box/fantasykings/" width="500" height="400" scrolling="yes" frameborder="1">
<p><a href="http://www.shoutmix.com/box/fantasykings/">View shoutbox</a></p>
</iframe>
<!-- End Shoutbox Include -->

Try that.

Ok... I had to delete my cookies then it disappeared...

The help around simply amazes me... Thanks a million.

No problem

Note that there's a cookie property that includes the word "user" and stays with you even when you log out. Type in javascript:document.cookie and you wil see it. Though technically you need to have been logged in on the board at some point, members who are logged off will still be able to access the shoutbox.

[Peter]

Well, if you going to be picky, just throw \w+ into the pattern. Problem solved.

[california]

How would \w+ help? You want to match the user part, not the supportuser part, so I think you'd use \s or \b.

[Peter]

Ah yeah, sorry, didn't even know that was in the cookie till just now.
