Changing Commnt Table Background, Can't control the format ofcomments table! Options

[thedynamix]

I have tried so many things and I have come to the conclusion that it is impossible to change the comments background format.

But, I've seen others do it, so I must be losing my mind.

Please have a look at MySpace and have a look at the comments table.

I want to black it out but I cannot find the CSS selector anywhere and I when I do change it, the entire page changes too.

I have guessed that the CSS which controls the comments table background is "table table table td" but this seems to change everything with it.



Any help is greatly appreciated!

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS:
You can delete this section from the code if you don't need it, but it won't affect the looks of your profile in any way.

For every div class (.div1, .div2, etc) you will notice a lot of common properties. To move the layer, use:
** margin-top to move it up and down
** margin-left to  move it left and right

margin-left begins from the center of your page. If you set it to 0px, the top left corner of the div will be located in the center of the profile. If you want the layer in the center of your profile take the width of the div, divide it by 2, and multiply it by -1. (In other words, divide it by 2 and make it a negative number.) For example, your div is 400px wide. Give it a margin-left of -200px and the div layer will sit in the middle of the screen. Now, if you want to move it somewhere else, you will have to experiment with the position.

margin-top should be no less than 150px since anything above that may overlap the MySpace advertisment.

The rest is self explanatory, width for width,  height for height, colors and so on.

Style and Format:
The divs will automatically align everything to the center, in order to make the text and pictures aligned to right or left, look for "text-align:center;" and replace center with left, right, or justify.

If you want your comments to flow automatically rather than have them stuffed in a scroll box, look for the comments selector, named .comt {} inside .comt, you will fine overflow:auto; change auto to overflow:none;

To move the personal song player, look for the embed {}

To add a background image to each div (box), add this to your div selector:

background-image:url(URL to background);
background-position:center center;
background-repeat:repeat;
background-attachent:scroll;


Good Luck!

Basically I'm having two problems and both are within the comments table.

Firstly, in FireFox, the text "Displaying x out of x cmments" and "Usernames friends comments" are overlapping for some reason. If you have FF, take a look at the top of my comments table and you'll see what I mean.

Second issue is within IE. Same problem as above occurs in IE too but its also coupled with another issue where it's still showing about 3 pixels of the text above ("Username has x friends"), which should have been completely hidden.


Minor issues but I feel they are very intricate.

Solved or not solved, I truely appreciate the efforts thus far.

Thanks alot!
