    Coding dilemma please help

    First click over to my site at www.godsfellowship.org. Notice that it is a blogger site hosted by our beloved Google. On my site , upfront and center, is the Chat box which I moved there per Google helper suggestion, because they said that at first glance, the purpose of my site was not evident.

    So I moved it from its own page onto the Home page.

    But my site is not JUST a chat site, it's also a blog site and a forum.

    Now if you would, click through the menu and notice that the chat box now shows up on every page just like all the other gadget boxes on the page.

    I need a code that I can use that is html, that will work with the flash applet chat code, and limit that chat box gadget from showing up on every single page.

    I only want it to show up on the Home/main page.

    I trust that there is a method of making that Gadget only show up on the main page, and keep the iframed chat code still working.

    Can anyone with expert coding experience, help me to come up with an answer to my dilemma?

    unfortunately i dont have time to be going through all of your site looking for the problem.

    What i would suggest upon an initial glance is using php so that you can get the current path used by that page.

    For example
    $path = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
    $file = basename($path, ".php");
    if ($file == 'index') {
    *Include chat box here* }
    else {
    *continue without chat box*}

    That will break down the filename and if the home page is called index.php it will display the chat box when that page is called. for any other page it will just skip that command.

    hope this can be migrated to your example
