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.

i dont get it. this is how to make your OWN CUSTOM layout right? so whats a div?

this is a tutorial for making a myspace profile that does not have the myspace look and feel. a div overlay is a special layout that covers you entire layout and allows you to make cutom tables and images and it allows you to place them anywhere you want.

okay. I made my layout and everything seems to be right ,but when i put my coding in myspace and i click view profile..theres coding in the background and i can see my friend lists and comments...my whole orginal myspcace is behind my layout..how do i get rid of it? I already tried that code to hid ur profile but it didn't work..ne suggestions?
thanks

try going to mygen.com and look for his code to hide your entire profile, that one might work better for you

I put in a DIV layout on my MySpace and it looked fine. I got rid of my comments and top 8, but I can't get rid of my extended network banner. I've tried looking around for codes to hid it but they won't work. What do I do? Is there a certain code? Or do I have to resize my layout? If so, how? Help please!

can i see your profile so i can help?

it looks more like you just need to move your div over to the right a bit more
