say i wanted to get rid of the orange text instead of just change it, how would i change this code?

orangetext15 {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}

or would it be completely different?


EDIT: nevermind, found it! it was somewhere earlier in the topic. in case anyone else needs it -
QUOTE
<style>.orangetext15{display:none;}</style>

i'm using this layout code for my page & i want my bolded text to just be a different color, but not bolded itself. i put "normal" in the font-weight part of the code, & to even make sure i put it in the other parts of the code that make the text bold. but it didn't work. i tried everything, and i even re-checked it.

do you know how to fix it? help!

^ font-weight:normal; should work. If you want to make the text a different color though the CSS, you can create a whole other thing for that (instead of using the bold feature and trying to make it not bolded.) You could try something like nonbold{font-color:00000;font-weight:normal;} in the stylesheet and then to make text turn that color use <nonbold>your text</nonbold>

But if you're having issues with changed the bolded text in the CSS, post your code.

QUOTE(I own yourr face. @ Jul 26 2006, 01:45 AM) *
Here's how to make a layout. There's a pinned post with stylesheets that you can also use.

Okay, to make a layout, you need to use a stylesheet, or css.
But what exactly is a stylesheet?

A stylesheet is code that tells your web browser (i.e. internet explorer, mozilla firefox, safari) what the page should look like. It has text commands and table commands that tells the browser what color, size, and style should be for whatever you're specifying.
How do I make a stylesheet?

All stylesheets, whether it's myspace, xanga, or just a website, start out with <style> OR <style type="text/css">. Most commonly, the background information is the first to be specified.

CODE
body {
background-color: ######;
background-image: url('URL HERE');
background-attachment:;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position:;
}[/code]

Then, if you want skinny tables, you can add

CODE
TD TD {text-align: center;}
TD TD TD {text-align: center;}
TD TD TD TD {border-top: 0px solid; width: 1%; text-align:left;}
TD TD TD TD TD {border-top: 0px solid black; text-align:right;}
TD TD TD TD TD TD {border: 0px solid;}
TABLE, TD {padding: 0px; text-transform: none; width:350px;}
TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;}
TABLE TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;height: .01%; width: 100%;}
TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;}
TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;}
TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE TABLE {padding: 0px; text-transform: none;}
table td div div font {visibili-ty:hidden;di-splay:none;}
table table table table {border: 0px; text-align: justify; padding: 0px;}
table table table table table {border: 0px; text-align: justify; padding: 0px;}
table table table table table table {border: 0px; text-align: justify; padding: 0px;}


The text properties:

CODE
font, body, table, td, div, h1, h2, br, a, p {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color: text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.orangetext15 {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.whitetext12 {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.lightbluetext8 {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.text {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.nametext {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.blacktext12 {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.blacktext10 {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.btext {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.redtext {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
.redbtext {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}


Then the links:

CODE
a:link, a:active, a.man:link, a.text:link, a.redlink:link, a.redlink:active, a.navbar:link, a.navbar:active {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
a:visited, a.man:visited, a.text:visited, a.redlink:visited, a.navbar:visited {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}
a:hover, a.man:hover, a.text:hover, a.redlink:hover, a.navbar:hover {font-family:; font-size:; color:; background-color:;text-transform:; text-decoration:; font-weight:;}

Uhh, this stylesheet makes absolutely no sense.

Okay, then I can explain it.

Background Color: the color for your background. You can put white, black, or a hex code. A hex code is a six digit code consisting of numbers and letters that makes up a color. For example, ff6666 makes a certain shade of pink, while c0c0c0 is a light grey. There is a good hex chart at http://webmonkey.com/webmonkey/reference/color_codes/.

Background Image: your background image. If you have it already saved onto your computer, go to tinypic.com or imageshack.us to get the URL for your background. Paste it in place of URL HERE.

Background Attachment: Use "scroll" or "fixed" (without the quotation marks). Scroll will move the background along with your tables. Fixed will keep the background steady and only move the tables (recommended)

Background Repeat: use "repeat" or "no-repeat" (still without the quotation marks). no-repeat will only have your background image appear once on your page, while repeat will have it repeated throughout.

Background Position: Mandatory if you have a no-repeat image. If you don't, still position it, but it doesn't really matter.
You can use:
top left
top center
top right
left
center
right
bottom left
bottom center
bottom right
font, body, table, td, div, h1, h2, br, a, p: the basic font on your page.

Font Family: the font of your page. (Arial, Courier, Georgia, Times New Roman, Small Fonts, Century Gothic, Verdana)

Font Size: the size of your font. use px or pt.
For example:

7px (perfect for small fonts)
8px
9px
10px
21px
64318623816318px (hehe)

You can do just about any size, but the most a size can be is 1002 (trust me! hah.)

Color: use hex code. color for the font.
Background Color: use hex code. background of the font. If not needed, just put "none" (without the quotes)
Text Transform: Make all the text uppercase, lowercase, or normal.
Text Decoration: Put underline if you want it that way. If not, just put none.
Font Weight: makes it bold. If you want it bold, put bold. If you don't, put none.
Orangetext15: About Me and Who I'd Like to Meet text
Whitetext12: Interests, Contacting, Details, and Schools text.

Lightbluetext8: General, Music, Movies, Television, Books, Heroes, Status, Here for, Hometown, Ethnicity, Zodiac Sign, Smoke/Drink, Education, and Occupation

Text: Your headline, Age, that stuff.
Blacktext12: Date on comments
Blacktext10: Extended network text.
Redtext: Amount of friends and number
Redbtext: Has # friends and name's latest blog entry.


Hope this helps!<3

edit//
edited skinny code. this one is more fuctional and doesn't mess up your friends/contact table. :]

[code]<style type="text/css">
b {background-color: a23b66;
color: cccccc;
font-family:Georgia;
font-size:8pt;
letter-spacing:0pt;
font-weight:bold; }
i,em{
background-color: a29ed3;
color: a23b66;
font-family:Georgia;
font-size:8pt;
letter-spacing:0pt;
font-weight:normal; }
u{
background-color: e18b76;
color: cccccc;
font-family:Georgia;
font-size:8pt;
letter-spacing:0pt;
font-weight:normal; }
</style>


This is to edit your underline, bold, and italics text.
B to edit your bold text.
I to edit your italics text.
u to edit your underlined text.



i wuz like yay!!! put then i scrolled and it was fixed. how do i change that?
