I was wondering if it was possible to make a myspace into something like these websites.

http://blog.urbanoutfitters.com
http://modularpeople.com

If anyone could help with even making a normal webpage like these, that would be great also.

for the first, partially. you'd be able to build a myspace to look pretty much exactly like that, but you'll run into a problem when making the navigation on top. usually you can just use position:fixed;, but it doesn't work in IE (at least not in IE7 and earlier; i haven't checked IE8 yet). many sites fix the fixed position problem by using javascript, but you can't on myspace.

all you really need is a very wide div with smaller elements inside, and float them all to the left.

for example, the CSS:
CODE
.navigation { left:0; position:fixed; top:0; height:50px; }
.main { left:0; padding:50px 0 0; position:absolute; top:0; width:5000px; }
.section { float:left; height:500px; width:300px; }
and potentially the HTML:
CODE
<div class="navigation">
  link
  link
  link
</div>
<div class="main">
  <div class="section">
    text, images, videos, etc.
  </div>
  <div class="section">
    text, images, videos, etc.
  </div>
  <div class="section">
    text, images, videos, etc.
  </div>
  <div class="section">
    text, images, videos, etc.
  </div>
</div>

I was thinking of putting scrollboxes for my content but I can't seem to figure out how to get them to line up.

This pretty much working, thank you very much.
But stylesheets don't really work.
Any idea?

Double post. Sorry.

I'm trying to use this code:

CODE
<style>
body {
font, body, table, td, div, h1, h2, br, a, p {
font-family:helvetica; font-size:12px; color:black; background-color:none; text-transform:none; text-decoration:none; font-weight:none;
}


a:link, a:active, a.man:link, a.text:link, a.redlink:link, a.redlink:active, a.navbar:link, a.navbar:active {
font-family:helvetica; font-size:12px; color:black; background-color:none; text-transform:uppercase; text-decoration:; font-weight:bold;
}

a:visited, a.man:visited, a.text:visited, a.redlink:visited, a.navbar:visited {
font-family:helvetica; font-size:12px; color:; background-color:none; text-transform:uppercase; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;
}

a:hover, a.man:hover, a.text:hover, a.redlink:hover, a.navbar:hover {
font-family:helvetica; font-size:12px; color:black; background-color:cyan;text-transform:uppercase; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;
}

</style>


but it is doing nothing.
Reason for edit: Please use [codebox] tags instead of [code] tags when posting longer codes. - Mike

Remove this from the second line:

CODE
body {

See if it works then.
