simple div overlay Options

[*disco infiltrator*]

Here's a simple Myspace div overlay.

For your CSS, use one of the CSS stylesheets already provided. Put that in your "About Me".

For your content, you can use this. Put it in "Who I'd Like to Meet":

CODE

<div class="bg" style="position: absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:000px; height:000px; overflow: hidden;">
<img src="IMAGEURLHERE">
</div>

<div class="content" style="position: absolute; left:000px;  top:000px; width:000px; height:000px; overflow: auto;"><center>
lalalalala this is your content!
</div>

For the image, you only need to change the width and the height to fit your image.

For the content, you can change the class of the div, the left alignment, top alignment, width, height, and overflow. If you want the div to have a scrollbar, use this div code. Open the image in Microsoft Paint to get the alignments.



If I wanted the div to begin where the black dot is, I would use the paintbrush tool and place it where I want the div to begin. Keep the mouse there, and look in the bottom right corner for two numbers separated by a comma. The first number is your left alignment, and the second is your top.

If I wanted a div that continues down the page until it runs out of content, this would be my div code:

CODE

<div class="bg" style="position: absolute; left:0px; top:0px; width:000px; height:000px; overflow: hidden;">
<img src="IMAGEURLHERE">
</div>

<div class="content" style="position: absolute; left:000px;  top:000px; width:000px; height:100%; overflow: visible;"><center>
lalalalala this is your content!
</div>

The only things that are changed are the height and overflow. Now all you need to worry about is the left alignment, top alignment, and width.

There you have it.

Positioning

Code:
quick lesson on "position: relative"
top: -45px = moves up 45px
top: 45px = moves down 45px
left: -15px = moves left 15px
left: 15px = moves right 15px

quick lesson on "position: absolute"
top: 0% = moves to top of page
top: 50% = moves to middle of page
top: 100% = moves to bottem of page
left: 0% = moves to left of page
left: 50% = moves to center of page
left: 100% = moves to right of page
margin-left: -15px = moves left 15px
margin-left: 15px = moves right 15px
margin-top: 45px = moves down 45px
margin-top: -45px = moves up 45px

^thankyou!

ok. so i tried it but the profile isnt hidden [with the code given to me] and the content is going to the far right overlapping the extended network which is supposed to be hidden.

EDIT: nvm i figured it out

=( i've tried with a div layout so many times,it's not fair grr!And every time it turns out looking wrong,i'm hopeless.I just don't see what i'm doing wrong each time..

what is your myspace profile you are using to make the div layout? maybe i can see what's wrong.

also i have a question myself; im trying to move some content for a div to the left but even when i change the dimensions so that it goes to the correct place it wont budge, it wont go any farther then left:100px idk if thats just how it works or if i can do something so that it goes farther to the left..
