Div Overlay, My text wont showup! Options

[freedeli]

Hi I put a Div Overlay across my myspace but when I try to write stuff I don't see it. I see images and table borders but no text, what am I doing wrong? I tried searching the forum but I didn't find nothing... Excuse my stupidity if it is something obvious.... I am guess my text is going under the overlay?

Whatever text you're putting has to be in the codes... eek I dont make sense dont i?

[Wavegirl]

Try changing the color of the text.

Even my music video doesn't show
www.myspace.com/monkeymojo

The video should be in the blank box, but it isn't! Check the source the video is "not_many_remix.mov" You will see it

I have tried changing the text color but no luck. MyxTwinxEvil, sadly yes, you don't make sense hehe. Thanks for the replies.

It looks like you're trying to use tables to adjust, instead of div's.

Try using these instead

<div id=layer5 style="position:absolute; top:155; left:180; z-index:1; width:150; padding:0px; border: 000000 0px dotted; background-color:28292d;">

Your stuff here

</div>

Red can be changed.

That's great lucy, but it covers my submit buton even in safe mode...

[lucyford]

Do you have all your style tags closed?

[freedeli]

Yes, the weird thing was when I tried to do it the first time I saw the Submit button! Then after I editted a few things, it disapeared. So I tried to just do it over and it is still gone... Wow I must be missing something

I think it's your comment box, lol.

It's... weird. I don't know.. not the "standard".

[freedeli]

I took it away but it still isn't there. I made the overlay transparent and saw the Submit button under it haha.... It's too high to see

[lucyford]

I don't know.

The only thing I would suggest, is copying everything you currently have into notepad. And adding it back one by one, in order to see what exactly is causing the problems.

I looked at your new source, and you replaced the main div overlay with what I said, which isn't right. You need to replace that with

<DIV class="Main"> <table style="width:800px; height:850px; cellpadding:0px; cellspacing:0px; border:0px solid silver; background-color:ffffff;}"> <tr> <td valign="top">

Changing colors and stuff.

But instead of using the table HTML, to create your boxes. Use the one I gave you. So like, instead of

  <table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="..111111" width="271" height="18" id="AutoNumber1">
    <tr>
      <td width="380" height="18" valign="top">
      <p align="center">

      <input type="text" name="T1" size="42" value="  STRAIGHT FROM THE STREETS OF NEW ZEALAND" style="font-family: Impact; font-size: 14pt; color: ..000000"></td>
    </tr>
  </table>

You'd use....

<div id=layer5 style="position:absolute; z-index:1; left:50px; top:70px; padding:0px; border: 000000 0px dotted; background-color:ffffff;"> <p align="center"> <input type="text" name="T1" size="42" value=" STRAIGHT FROM THE STREETS OF NEW ZEALAND" style="font-family: Impact; font-size: 14pt; color: 000000"></center> </div>

Just messing around with the "top" and the "left" px amounts. The higher the number on "top" the lower down the page it'll be. And the higher then number on "left" the further right it'll be.

Also, you can condense everything in your "About Me" down to this

<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> <style type=text/css> td.text td.text table table table, td.text td.text table .orangetext15, td.text td.text .redlink, td.text td.text span.btext {display:none;} td.text td.text table td, td.text td.text table {height:0;padding:0;border:0;} td.text td.text table {background-color:transparent!important} td.text td.text table table td{padding:3;} .contactTable TD{display:none;visibility:hidden;} .blacktext12 {visibility:hidden; display:none} .lightbluetext8{display:none;visibility:hidden} table td div div font {visibility:hidden;} </style>

You don't need to add style type to all of them :).

That's about all I can help you with. Other than remembering that Myspace doesn't process "#" so when you're putting in hex codes, only use the letters/numbers. Like ffffff for white, or 000000 for black, instead of #ffffff or #000000.

you need to get a manual submit button so u can press submit when u edit it.

http://www.mygen.co.uk/index.php?page=extr...on=manualsubmit

that would probaly explain you why somethings are missing when u preview it

[MyxTwinxisxEvil]

err and yes instead of using "FORMS[1]" on the manual submit... use a "FORMS[2]"...
