div layers question, how do i make them stay put? Options

[tainted]

hi. i've been trying to teach myself how to use div layers in myspace. and it was all working fine until a few minutes ago. if i vew my page without maximizing it, it looks fine, but once i maximize it, some of the layers shift. this wasn't happening before. can anyone tell me how to fix it??

my myspace

any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I have the same problem. The only solution I could think of was to make it so that the page stayed to the left instead of centering when you maximize it but I don't know how to do that and no one responded to my thread about it.

i have that same problem too.

ive just been starting with div layering. so, if i may ask you a quick question... how do u get ur friends, comments, etc on your overlay?
or, how did you do it?

ugh, pleeeeease help me.

hmm, looks fine to me?
but I'm using firefox..?
and..I have the opposite problem. when I maximise the window, everything looks fine, but then I make the window smaller..and I can see some of the 'normal myspace' stuff comes up..

how do u get ur friends, comments, etc on your overlay?
or, how did you do it?

^ for her friends, I this she did it manually..or...made a picture of her friends with it?
and I don't know how to get your comments on there as it would be on a regular page..
I've heard some people do it manually..

manually, how do u do that???

and does anyone know the code to hide the tables? would that work? to hide the normal myspace tables, and then put the DIVs?

ugh, these div layers are so complicated, i usually get html really fast, but i do not get this at all. haha.

i read the tutorial and i still dont understand how to make my friends and view more picks like that. I dont get it. I'm assuming they edited a picture and they just put it ontop of their picture and tha tof their friends but when you click that picture nothing seems to happen. how can i make the picture like a link to the next screen or something. am i doing something wrong?

by manually, I would think it meant adding your comments...by hand..as they come...although I've not tryed, I've seen people have their comments on their pages. and friends. I'm sorry, I don't know.
and while doing my [crap] overlay..some of the tables plain annoyed me, so yeah, I took some of them out/made them not visible..it worked fine..and none of my layers shift anymore :)

I'm not sure I understand..can you please be a bit more detailed? do you mean for the DIV, or for normal myspace layouts?

I JUST found one yesterday. best I'd seen..I can't find the group though..
If you search for a group, search for '<myspace> </coders>' and you'll find the tutorial there. although I think that's where it is. for some reason, I can't search for them..

i think found who u were talkin about... but i cant cover my whole page, do u know a code for that?

how about this:

'About Me' section.

<style type="text/css">
.Main { position:absolute; left:50%; top:125px; width:800px; z-index:1; margin-left:-400px; padding:0px; border:0px; background-color:transparent;}
</style>

The "top:125px;" specifies how far from the top of the page the overlay will begin. This is the exact amount needed to start directly below the advertisment banner. Increase this number if you want it to start below the navigation bar (home, browse, search, rank, mail, etc. etc. etc.).

'I'd like to meet' section.

<DIV class="Main"> <table style="width:800px; height:600px; cellpadding:0px; cellspacing:0px; border:2px solid silver; background-color:ffffff;}">
<tr> <td valign="top">
YOUR PAGE CONTENT (HTML/FLASH) HERE
</td> </tr> </table> </DIV>

Humm I'm having a bit of trouble with my div overlay..and since people in here seem to know what they're talking about..

The real friends and comments won't disappear no matter how many times I make their visibility hidden, and the real profile shows up under the image when you scroll down.

It won't work in Firefox, so don't use it while trying to look at it..use IE.

ok, i got everything to work, but i got one noobish question, in the content, for a div box, what do i put for a return, like, when u hit enter, because it shows when i edit, but when u go to veiw it, its all squished. and not spaced the way i want.
