making a skin, problems ?? Options

[helloxfriend]

umm. i just got done making a skin.. and its kind of confusing ..
for the image mapping, when you finish mapping the image theres a bunch of codes where they ask you to paste it somewhere.. where do you paste it to get your links to work ?
and .. my " add comments " " add eprops " thing is all small and squished together .. theyre like .. in one line ..
and how can i make my layout go up.. like the whole thing .. because its like, at the bottom where you cant see it unless you scroll down.
can anybody help ?

You paste your image mapping after

CODE

<img src="IMAGE URL">

Can you post all of your codes up. Please put your codes inside a

In your custom header. Another quick tutorial....

Here's a very simple map.

CODE

<IMG SRC="URL" USEMAP="#map" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=200 BORDER="0">
<MAP NAME="map">
<AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="HTTP://" COORDS="531,149, 558,162">
</MAP>

Now, let's examine the individual parts....
----

CODE

<IMG SRC="URL" USEMAP="#map" WIDTH=600 HEIGHT=200 BORDER="0">

<IMG - This prompts your image to show up
SRC="URL" - This pulls your image and places it in your page.
USEMAP="#map" - This forces the image to use the map you define.
(Everything else? Self-explanitory.)
----

CODE

<MAP NAME="map">
<AREA SHAPE="RECT" HREF="HTTP://" COORDS="531,149, 558,162">
</MAP>

<MAP NAME="map"> - Starts your map and gives it a name.
<AREA SHAPE="RECT" - Defines what shape your hotspot is.
HREF="HTTP://" - Defines what your hotspot will target when you click it.
COORDS="531,149, 558,162"> - Defines where your hotspot is on the image.
</MAP> - Ends your map.

To make your layout go up, use a div layer.... And make the top-margin smaller, or negative depending. For the footer.....

CODE

<style type='text/css'>div.smalltext{width: 220;}</style>

Adjust the width as needed.
