A rather strange issue... Options

[Avenger29]

Ok, I'm using a div layout on my page, and I'm having a weird issue. I have my links embedded into my background picture, and while my blog and artwork links work fine, the ones that lead to my Myspace functions, like my pictures and messaging, lead to the "canceled membership" screen. When I did the coding, I know I did everything right, so why is it doing this?

My page is here.

Thanks in advance.

i'm not really sure... i don't work that much with links in backgrounds and such, but i do know, that sometimes when there's another div, probably with a link in it, over the other links, you can't click on the ones behind, only the invisible one over it. maybe check to see if there's anything on top of your links.

^ That is confusing (and incorrect!)

Seems like a simple problem of wrong Friend ID. Unfortunately, it's not a simple case of changing your Friend ID on your profile because Myspace will have turned all of your current links into MSLinks (gobbledegook numbers).

SO, you'll have to find your links and replace them with the following (make sure that you enter your Friend ID where the xxxxxx's are BEFORE you save this to your Myspace. Remember that any links - incomplete or not - that you have on your page once saved will be made into MSLinks):

I figured out what happened. It was a Dreamweaver issue. The "&"s in the addresses were being turned into "&amp", which pretty much screwed the code.

Anyways, thanks for the help.

Okay then, not a Friend ID issue.

Glad you got it solved!
