Second module in custom skin, Help?!?! Options

[CrimsonSkyGraphi...]

Howdy everyone,

Okay, I just spent the past 3 hours trying to get this to work..and all it's done is manage to frustrate me greatly. I checked the how to guide for making skins and tried what was said to do there, and I checked the xanga scrptis section, tried what it said 'there'..Same problems. I even tried going and trying a script I foudn from someone 'elses' skin that had an extra module. Same problem.

My problem is that when I add in the second div layer (before my blog div) for my extra module (for a profile or whatever) they seem to..merdge? o.O The bottem half of my extra module fits into the top of my blog module..and when I try to move the extra one it moves my main one too. Here, I'll show you. Go to www.xanga.com/SimplicityPink_Layout . See how they're sorta..stuck together? And how they're both out of line? I had my main blog module placed correctly untill I added the extra div layer.

I'm not 'that' new to this..It's my second layout and I had no problems with my first one. The first didnt have a extra module, though. I just dont know what's wrong. I followed what people said to do..and it doesnt work! I'll put my whole code in a box below and can someoen please tell me if they see a problem? I'm ususally pretty good at this stuff but Im jsut totally lost this time. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! That's what I wanted. What was the problem with it? *lol*

One last thing, could you tell me how to add a scrollbar and customize the fonts and stuff like I have in my main blog box for the extra module too? o.o'

One last thing, could you tell me how to add a scrollbar and customize the fonts and stuff like I have in my main blog box for the extra module too? o.o'

the problem was this..

CODE

<div style="overflow: auto; width: 400px; height: 230px; margin-top: -160px; margin-left:235px;">

u see the margin top u postioned it wrong.. it was too high.. to change the font and stuff u can referr to your default setting in your look and feel or add something like this

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><style type="text/css">table.blogbody {<br />width:WIDTH OF THE BLOGpx;<br />font-family: Arial;<br />font-weight: none;<br />font-size: 12pt;<br />color: #COLOR;<br />text-align: justify;<br />padding: 0px;<br />margin-top: 2px;<br />}<br />div.smalltext{<br />width: WIDTHpx;<br />padding: 3px;<br />text-align: left;<br />}<br />.caption, .blogheader {<br />width: 380px;<br />padding: 3px;<br />font-family: CHANGE FONT;<br />font-size: 16pt;<br />text-align: center;<br />color: #COLOR;<br />background-color: #COLOR;<br />text-transform: lowercaps;<br />margin-top: 10px;<br />}<br /><br />P, B, I, TD, TH <br />{font-family: FONT; color: #COLOR CODE OF FONT; font-size: 8pt; }<br />A:link, A:visited, A:active<br />{color:#COLOR CODE OF A LINK; text-decoration:none; font-size:8pt;}<br />a:hover<br />{text-decoration: underline; color:#COLOR; font-size: 8pt; );}<br />b, strong, i, u, {<br />/* edit colors when bold italic underline */<br />font-family: arial;<br />font-size: 8pt;<br />color: #000000;<br />font-weight: bold; <br />text-transform: lowercaps;<br /></style><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

something like that i got that from here

http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34220 i custom mized it a little and for a scroll bar i guesss u could do this..

CODE

<DIV id=scroll3 style="BORDER-RIGHT: #000000 0px; BORDER-TOP: #000000 0px; OVERFLOW: auto; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 0px; WIDTH: #px; BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 0px; HEIGHT: #px">

replace the # with your own numbers..

by the way your welcome
