Using the MS-ISAC Daily Tip Graphic on your website

You can easily incorporate the MS-ISAC Cyber Tip-of-the-Day Graphic into your website by cutting and pasting the code below into your page.

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.msisac.org/scripts/flash/swfobject.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.msisac.org/scripts/tip.js"></script>

The code above results in the following output on your page:

 
  • CSS presentation rules for the container can be assigned to the div selector #msisac_tip_icon
 

Customizing the MS-ISAC Cyber Alert Level Graphic on your website

By adding some simple javascript commands to the scripts above, you can customize the look and feel of the MS-ISAC Cyber Alert Level Graphic for your website.

 

Example 1: specifying the name of the div that is to contain the graphic.

<div id="ex1_div"> </div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.msisac.org/scripts/flash/swfobject.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
   msisac_tip_divid = "ex1_div";

</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.msisac.org/scripts/tip.js"></script>

The code above results in the following output on your page:

  • Place the script code anywhere in your page AFTER your div
  • Its a good idea to place a static text link to the msisac digital dashboard inside your div in case the user doesnt have javascript enabled. in that case, the user will still get a link to the daily tips page.
 

Example 2: specifying the size of the graphic.

<div id="ex2_div"> </div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.msisac.org/scripts/flash/swfobject.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
   msisac_tip_divid = "ex2_div";

   msisac_tip_size = "120x90";

</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.msisac.org/scripts/tip.js"></script>

The code above results in the following output on your page:

  • Place the script code anywhere in your page AFTER your div
  • The following sizes are supported:
    • 120x90
    • 180x150
 

Example 3: changing font colors

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.msisac.org/scripts/flash/swfobject.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  msisac_tip_divid = "ex3_div";
  msisac_tip_size = "180x150";
  msisac_tip_fontColor = "0xD5EDB3";
</script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.msisac.org/scripts/tip.js"></script>

The code above results in the following output on your page:

  • Place the script code above anywhere in your page AFTER your div
  • The MSISAC Graphic has a transparent background - so the background color of your webpage (or in this case of the div #ex2_div) comes through, which may mean you need to customize the font color to match
