Help! Our another bureaucrat added these codes:

<div style="position: fixed; top: 15px; left: 50px; padding: 3px; background: black; border: 1px solid gray;"><b>Vote for best stuff released this mid-year.</b></div>

<div style="position: fixed; top: 15px; right: 50px; padding: 3px; background: black; border: 1px solid gray;"><b>Click [[http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Chat|here]] to chat!</b></div>

and nothing shows up! Is there something wrong with these codes?

Vote for best stuff released this mid-year.

Click [[1]] to chat!

I added that code to this page, and the boxes seem to show up fine (top left and right). If you're trying to add that to the site CSS, though, it won't work.

How can I apply to the whole site?

I'm not sure if this will work, but try this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#WikiaArticle').append('<div style="position: fixed; top: 15px; left: 50px; padding: 3px; background: black; border: 1px solid gray;"><b><a href="/wiki/Mid-year Wild Ones Award" title="Mid-year Wild Ones Award">Vote for best stuff released this mid-year.</a></b></div><div style="position: fixed; top: 15px; right: 50px; padding: 3px; background: black; border: 1px solid gray;"><b>Click <a href="/wiki/Special:Chat">here</a> to chat!</b></div>');
});

It won't work! Wildoneshelper  talk  edits  07:11, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Wildoneshelper: Please link to the wiki where you're editing on so that we can investigate further. Also, please tell us what browser you're using (Firefox? Internet Explorer? Chrome?) and what computer you're using (Mac? PC? Mobile device?) and which operating system you're using (Mac OS? Windows 7?) so that we can better assist you.

I have verified that both Dzylon and Sam's code are 100% functional. If it's not working, it's either because 1) you're not putting the code in the right place, 2) your browser/computer/etc. or 3) some other stuff happening on your wiki. Mathmagician ƒ(♫) 07:41 UTC, Sat, 07 July 2012

I've put it in Wikia.css and still doesn't show up and I'm using Google Chrome and IE 8 and none of them show up. Will have to re-do it later. Wildoneshelper  talk  edits  05:19, July 8, 2012 (UTC)

I see why it won't work, is because if you are trying my code you need to put it in MediaWiki:Common.js as it is a JavaScript file. Also, if you want to add it in MediaWiki:Wikia.css, the code I wrote previously won't work, try this code (it might not work although):

body { position: fixed; top: 15px; left: 50px; padding: 3px; background: black; border: 1px solid gray; font-weight:bold; content: "<a href="/wiki/Mid-year_Wild_Ones_Award">Vote for best stuff released this mid-year.</a>"; }
body { position: fixed; top: 15px; right: 50px; padding: 3px; background: black; border: 1px solid gray; font-weight: bold; content: "Click <a href="http://wildones.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Chat">here</a> to chat!"; }
