How to use Strips Ad in Blogger

Tips for Bloggers

You can use Stripe-ads to promote something (can be text ads, announcements, Feed or any appropriate information needs) from your Blog. Using Strips-ads is better than using the ads in Popup-Ads (Pop-ups, pop-overs and pop-unders), because using Popup-Ads can be block by Popup Blocker and from some case readers feel annoying with Popup-Ads.

var mtapointer = eval(mta_arr.length-1);
this.pagetop = 0;
this.cmode = (document.compatMode && document.compatMode!="BackCompat") ? document.documentElement : document.body;
this.mtasrc = document.all? document.all[mta] : document.getElementById(mta);
this.mtasrc.height = this.mtasrc.offsetHeight;
this.mtaheight = this.cmode.clientHeight;
this.mtaoffset = mtaGetOffsetY(mta_arr[mtapointer]);
var mtabar = 'mta_clear['+mtapointer+'] = setInterval("mtaFloatInit(mta_arr['+mtapointer+'])",1);';
mtabar = mtabar;
eval(mtabar);
}

function mtaGetOffsetY(mta) {
var mtaTotOffset = parseInt(mta.mtasrc.offsetTop);
var parentOffset = mta.mtasrc.offsetParent;
while ( parentOffset != null ) {
mtaTotOffset += parentOffset.offsetTop;
parentOffset = parentOffset.offsetParent;
}
return mtaTotOffset;
}
function mtaFloatInit(mta) {
mta.pagetop = mta.cmode.scrollTop;
mta.mtasrc.style.top = mta.pagetop - mta.mtaoffset + "px";
