well, i'm designing a layout for myspace, a div.
and while i was doing the header. i was thinking,
if their was a way to move the display name up to the header?
instead of adding a table, and add a title myself.
so i was woundering, is it possible to position the display name on
a div?

Try this:

CODE
<style>
.nametext {position:absolute; top:#px; left:50%; margin-left:#px;}
</style>

Replace the pound symbols with appropriate values.
shawtiegotem

1. goodmornin sir :)

i'm still making the header, (this is my FIRST ever layout)
and yes i'm doing this from a tutorial, well kinda. im not exactly following the steps.

since your the only one up. i'm wondering, (in your opinion)
where the black table goes, if i should put a table on that, or just leave it like
how it is?(like a blue sheet on it)

and how do you think it looks so far

i'm really going for a clean layout, cause 1. i have no brushes (using a friends computer, i might download a set though, maybe some textures)

i was also wondering if i could make the table where my stuff will go, stretch out everytime i put info in it? instead of adding a table just for a scroll box?
Mickey
Sorry, I'm not with you. Can you clarify your questions?
shawtiegotem
sorry, you know how it is. 6 in the morning.

okay.
well ignore that.

can i make my myspace tables adjust the length by how much stuff is in it?
like a blog.
Mickey
Just don't set a height for them. The tables should automatically adjust.
shawtiegotem
really???

so "height:;" and it'll do by its self?
Mickey
No, don't even add that. Leave it out and it'll just stretch by itself.
shawtiegotem
okay, any way i can position my default picture?
Mickey
CODE
<style>
.profileInfo a img {position:absolute; top:#px; left:50%; margin-left:#px;}
</style>
shawtiegotem
okay, my layout is 800width and 1200 height
is that the right width? like i really want my layout small, so whats the smallest it should be?
Mickey
That width will do, yeah.
shawtiegotem
would 700 do?
Mickey
Sure, that'd be fine too.
wwwww
I use 680, just fyi

what you think? i'm still working on it,
this is my first ever div, so i'm trying
to work hard on it.the artwork isn't mine,
i forgot where i found it at.


mike, look @ the link, you see how the right cloud is?
i can't make it stretch like that, how can i
make the table stretch using css, and still having that rounded
corners, and that point sticking out?
Mickey
You need to turn the wing and the corners into separate images and position them around the table you're making.
shawtiegotem
i get what you saying,
but how?

and in the design, what part of it i take off?
Mickey
Don't remove them. Just keep them so you know where they should be positioned. And I already told you what you need to move around: the rounded corners and the sharp tip on the left of the box. When putting them up on your profile, place the <img> tags above and below the table you're going to put the content in. Move them around if necessary using relative positioning.
shawtiegotem
Okay, hey mike!
this is my first layout! ok??
and im stuck _unsure.gif
look and tell me what do YOU think of it.
that'll be really helpful :D

Plain black is a bit boring. Try using a texture for the background instead. Also, I personally dislike the gradients. The pairing with stripes isn't very appealing either. If I were you, I'd remove the stripes on the bar at the top and on the navigation but leave the gradients. Then I'd remove the gradients on the content areas and instead give them dropshadows.
shawtiegotem
Ok, well the plain black is a texture, if you look closer, ill lighten that up?
and Okay ill remove the stripes. and the gradient on the content?
hm maybe, but maybe i could lighten it up a bit?
what do you think?
Mickey
Do you have any questions or can I close this already? Let's keep the layout suggestions in your other topic, shall we?
shawtiegotem
Ok and yes u can close this.
Mickey
