comment boxes in a div profile, help me? please? Options

[megan333noel]

okay im like throughly confused at the moment. im kinda dumb and dont know how to make my own comment box so i basically just took one that i found online and changed it so that it was the way i wanted it. but then when i went to put it on my profile [[i have a div layout]] it like screwed my entire profile up so i took it off.


i tryed a couple different comment box codes and they all did the same thing.



i have no idea whats wrong so any help would be GREATLY appreciated.



thanks.

I think you're doing it correctly. You just need to position it by inserting your comment box code inside <div> tags. For example:

CODE

<div style="position:absolute: top:200px; left:500px;">INSERT COMMENT BOX CODE HERE.</div>

Just play around with the bolded numbers 'till it's where you want it to be.

[megan333noel]

well it already had the <div> </div> in it but i went ahead and tryed that anyway but it still didnt work.



here is the link to my myspace so you can kinda get an idea of what im talking about.

Your profile is a mess on FireFox. Do you use Internet Explorer?

[megan333noel]

no i cant even sign into myspace using internet explorer anymore.


i use firefox.



thats what im saying with the mess



like its fine when i dont have the code for the comment box in it but when i put it in it like screws it all up.

[Mickey]

Well if that's how it looks without the comment box, it won't exactly have a place to go on your page. Everything is in place and there's no room for it. I suggest just placing it inside your about me DIV.

CODE

<div style="
overflow:auto;
position:absolute;
top: 110px;
left: 170px;
width:600px;
height:560px;

border-right-color: 000000;

<div style="

im never quite sure where to start when writing these so i guess ill start with whats most important to me. <br />
anyone who knows me would know that the most important thing in the world to me are my friends. <br />
i love them with all my heart. <br />

no one can make me laugh like they do. <br />
music is probably number 2 on my list. <br />
so when kenny danielle and i move to new york, danielle and i are opening a venue. and its gonna be freakin awesome. just so you know.
<br />
kenny and i have been friends since we were 11. and danielle and i have been friends since march 13th 2006. and by the way march 13 2008 was probably the best day of our f**kin lives. just throwin that out there.......<br />
anyways... my favorite color is yellow. in case you were wondering. closely followed by purple. and i extreamly dislike the color orange. <br />
my favorite food is guakamole. how ever the f**k you spell that.
<br />im a vegetarian.<br />
im left handed?<br />
[[thats not a question i just like question marks.]]<br />

i really want an enchilada right now....<br />
its 12:24 am and according to my grandma i was supossed to go to bed like 24 minutes ago....<br />
oh and just a waring: if anyone says anything to me about changing my profile "AGAIN" ill push that person down some stairs. <br />
alright peace! &hearts;

</div>

I bolded the comment box code. Just fix it up to your liking. Tell me if it works.

[megan333noel]

well im kinda confused. was that like the entire thing you posted or just part of it??


cause i tried that and that messed up my profile too. just in a different way.


hahah

[Mickey]

No, I took that from your codes. You were supposed to add the bolded codes in the middle of the codes you already had. They're the same, but I added a comment box code inside <div> tags. You should be able to recognize them.

[megan333noel]

no thats what i did. i took everything i had in there out and replaced it with what you had.


but it didnt work.



you got the comment box to show up though its just the rest of the profile is like wayyyy wierd now.



i left it like that so i could show you what im talking about.




http://www.myspace.com/myfriendsrockursox

[megan333noel]

wow. okay yea i see what your saying now. hahaha


blonde moment.



okay so i tryed THAT the way that you were saying and i tripple checked it and everything but nothing happened. like the profile is fine and it doesnt screw it up but the comment box still isnt there.



by the way thank you so much for helping me.




i really do appreciate it. =]

[Mickey]

Can you check if you have this code at the top of your About Me section?

CODE

body table td div form {display:none !important;}

If you do, try removing that and see if the comment box works.

[megan333noel]

okay yea that was there. and i removed it. now do i put that thing in from the last thingg?

[Mickey]

Yes. Put the comment box code back in but put it above the "Smile For The Paparazzi" code. See if it shows up this time.

[megan333noel]

no its still not showing up. =/

[Mickey]

Look for this code in your about me:

CODE

<style>
body table {margin-top:-50000px;}
body td table, body div table {margin-top: 0;}
table, tr, td {background-color:transparent;}
body div table form{display:none;}
body table div form{display:block;}
div table td font {visibility:hidden; }
.navigationbar {display:none;}
</style>

Then remove this part:

CODE

body div table form{display:none;}
body table div form{display:block;}

Also, you should remove the second comment box code (the one below the "Smile For The Paparazzi" section).

[megan333noel]

okay i tryed that and still nothing showed up.

[Mickey]

Try removing the bolded part of this code:

CODE

<style>
div div select, div div form {display:none !important;}
select { filter:alpha(opacity=0); opacity:0.0; }
</style>

It should be at the bottom of your About Me.

[megan333noel]

no that didnt work either. =/


was i supossed to put this one back first?

CODE

body div table form{display:none;}
body table div form{display:block;}

cause i didnt.

[Mickey]

No, leave that code out.

I see a comment box now. (FINALLY!) What do you mean it didn't work?

[megan333noel]

OH MY GOD! i was looking at the wrong spot!!!


ahhh!!



wow thank you SO much!



your freakin smart i would have never figured it out!!



one more question- cause i dont want to try this before asking if its gonna mess it up haha



now that it like works and everything is it possible to move the comment box up a litte like right below the 'favorite quotes' thing??

[Mickey]

Yeah, for sure. First, you have to delete the comment box code that you already have. Next, look for this part of your codes:

CODE

<h1>favorite quotes</h1><br /><br />

top 6 for today. <br /><br />

Then, place this code in the middle of those two lines:

CODE

<form method="post" action="http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.ConfirmComment"><input name="friendID" value="44745588" type="hidden" /><textarea name="f_comments" id="t_area" style="width:240px; height:75px; border:1px solid; border-color:000000; font:normal 7px Small Fonts; color: 000000; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1px; background-color:ffffff; overflow:auto;">Add comment.</textarea><br />

<input value="Submit" style="width:120px; border:1px solid; border-color:000000; font:normal 7px Small Fonts; color: 000000; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1px; background-color:ffffff;" type="submit" /> <input value="Clear" style="width:120px; border:1px solid; border-color:000000; font:normal 7px Small Fonts; color: 000000; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1px; background-color:ffffff;" type="reset" /></form><br />

If you want it BEFORE the "Favorite Quotes" heading, then put the comment box code before this:

CODE

<h1>favorite quotes</h1><br /><br />

top 6 for today. <br /><br />

Hope that solves your problems.

[megan333noel]

okay please dont hate me but i have another problem....


hahah


i changed the code for the comment box around a little bit cause i wanted something specific. but now the whole right side of my profile like dissappears. i was just wondering if you could look over this and tell me if i did something wrong.

CODE

<div align="center"><form method="post" action="http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.
ConfirmComment"><input type="hidden" name="friendID" value="44745588" /><textarea name="f_comments" id="f_comments" cols="42" rows="5" style=" background-color:white!important;
background-image: url(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/allison_schulze/guiltypleasuredance.gif); background-position: top left;
background-attachement: fixed; background-repeat: repeat; border-width:0px!important; border-color:black!important; border-style:solid!important; font-family:Verdana!important;
font-size:17px!important; color:white!important; width:235px!important; height:100px!important; ">
I came here to make you dance tonight.</textarea><br />


<input value="fangs up cobra style!" style="width:149px;
border:1px solid; border-color:000000; font:normal 7px Small Fonts;
color: 000000; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1px;
background-color:ffffff;" type="submit" /></form><br />

=]

[megan333noel]

okay nvm about that i fixed it.



but now i have a DIFFERENT problem....



heh.



=/



when i take the 'reset' button out it like disables the submit button for god knows why.



i took this

CODE

<input value="Submit" style="width:149px; border:1px solid; border-color:000000; font:normal 7px Small Fonts; color: 000000; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1px; background-color:ffffff;" type="submit" /> <input value="Clear" style="width:148px; border:1px solid; border-color:000000; font:normal 7px Small Fonts; color: 000000; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1px; background-color:ffffff;" type="reset" /> </form><br />

and then i took this out

CODE

<input value="Clear" style="width:148px; border:1px solid; border-color:000000; font:normal 7px Small Fonts; color: 000000; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1px; background-color:ffffff;" type="reset" />

?!?

[Mickey]

Look for this:

CODE

<form method="post" action="http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.ConfirmComment"><input name="friendID" value="44745588" type="hidden" /><textarea name="f_comments" id="t_area" style="width:235px; height:75px; border:1px solid; border-color:000000; background-image:
url(http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r251/allison_schulze/guiltypleasuredance.gif); background-position: top left; background-attachement: fixed; background-repeat: repeat; border-width:0px!important; border-color:black!important; border-style:solid!important; font-family:Verdana!important; font-size:17px!important; color:white!important; width:235px!important; height:100px!important; ">I came here to make you dance tonight.</textarea><br /></form>

Remove the </form> tag at the end. That should do it.

[megan333noel]

fixed!


thanks you soooo much.



everything works perfectly.
