simple div overlay Options

[*disco infiltrator*]

How much help could you all possibly need? This whole topic is walking you through it. I gave you the entire code needed, just change colors and positioning.

If you don't have basic HTML knowledge before trying to do this, then don't try to do this.

^I agree! Go here for basic html: http://webmonkey.com

You should post this in the tutorials area. That will answer a heck of a lot of questions! Thanks for sharing, though.

It's fine where it is in my opinion. Because people can see it whenever they come to the help forum.

Hi I'm not sure if this has been answered yet...but I'm trying to position an embedded flash object that has set pixels already using a div overlay...is that possible? I did it with my friends and comments thing...but I'm not sure how to do it with flash...someone help? thx =]

I don't think you can do set pixels with flash..

Perhaps try putting div tags around the object?

The reason it was put here in the first place was to prevent "HOW DO YOU MAKE A LAYOUT?!!?" topics.

is it possible to put your comments into your div? as in like, the comments people send to you.

I think I've seen it done somewhere, but I don't remember where, and I
haven't figured out how to do that.

where are some sites i can go to  customize my own overlays for myspace?? im comp.illiterate so i need help.. please.. any tips are appreciated.

^ What are you talking about? A div overlay is the ultimate customization..

im new to this and im tryin these overlay codes. how would i go about makein this type of overlay. http://fyad.org/4gs7.  i was told to make the image in photoshop or something and overlay it. if i was to do that how would i add the links and text?

^ That's..not..a Myspace.....

[blankminded]

yes it is. i jus used that site to shorten the URL. It was hella long. the same way u used to shorten image url's in code to make the code shorter. like int he pic page on myspace.

i have the overlay with my bg but i cant get the size right and when i do if i maximize it its not right. how to get it to stay the same size when its minimized and maximised?

^ Absolute positioning.

OoOOo Nice tutorial! Awesome Job!

[*disco infiltrator*]

All im confused about is the background. You just make it and put it in the code? How does it fit? I've tried this before and my profile was never covered. And by the way, how do you put tables on teh middle of your image, just that you can type it do you have to do positioning?

Then make your background bigger.
The tutorial says perfectly how to do the things you're asking to do..did you even read it? And do you have prior HTML knowledge?

lmao

yeah so anyway.

i ahve an overlay atm, but i want to add my comments to it, jsut below my comments box. Is this possible?

I haven't figured out how to do it yet.

[partybiatch]

i used the "hide profil" script and the code in here to start with my div overlay but no image will show up at all :(

[AthenatheGrate]

I put in the code, and its fine in the preview but it wont show on my actual profile

[hiiyas]

i must be making this a lot harder than what it is. i feel like an idiot. i cant figure it out.

[heyyfrankie]

Thank you "DDOMINOO".

that just drew the FUNNIEST picture in my head

[*disco infiltrator*]

i cant get to the submit button.

and i cant figure out how to get around that.

Use the manual submit button.

is it possible to put your comments into your div? as in like, the comments people send to you.

You mean like my profile does <a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=23829425">HERE</a>?

Let me know if you need any help

SO basically everything i need to make a Div Layout starts on page 1 of this thread? If so i'll try my best, i have another profile with a div layout but i didnt make it. I took me sometime to put in though because it was flawed so i basically know the whole profile top to bottom from having to read through it, i'll try my best.

* Dont want to be a pain, but i dont need dreamwever or any type of program like that. Im not that knowledable in coding and stuff but not an average myspace, who cant edit crap. I do have knowledable about photoshop.

[downsouthposted]

I really need help.
Everytime I get it down right it gets confusing again.



I put in the code to cover the default myspace and then I went on to add in the overlay script. Thats when bad things happen. There is this big white box over my layout and the background doesnt cover the whole page.


2 Questions-
1) How do I get rid of the big white box?
2) What is the reccomended size for the background? or how big should I make the MS paint canvas?



Thanks...
AIM if you see the need to further help me.

I made the tut and yours is better than mine.

[carolinegamboa]

this is just a quick question. is all this div overlay stuff just like making a Xanga overlay? I had tons of experience with that, so I assume it was the same. Message me back if anyone has the answer_

[dragncore]

...well this helped me get started with div overlays on myspace, but I see in some overlays how they have there blog plugged right in so you dont actually have to load the blog page seperately Whats the code for that...? I can't find any reference to it anywhere... any help?

Safe Journeys...

This Has probably been asked before, but.
I'm a little tired so I'm not going to read through.
I used a DIV layout on my myspace, and I can't edit it.
Is there some way I can do a manual edit button like I did the submit?

...ummm have you tried to edit your profile in safe mode? When you log into home none of your custom layout should be showing at all... That work worked for me when I had that problem I think your having...

Eh.
Yeah.
People had been telling me about safe mode.
and.
I couldn't figure out what the hell they were talking about.
xD
But.
I figured it out.

[xix_inu_xix]

uhh, i would like some feedback if you guys know about this.
