box widths, errg Options

[xohh_tragicx3]

( i'm sick, forgive me if i make absolutely no sense )

my about me box won't get smaller, and my extended network bar won't get thinner.

i've used codes to make all of my boxes the same widths, and i've tried making my extended network bar shorter in height.
like hers --> my friend

however every time i try, it goes back to same way it was, or just screwed up entirely. i've even tried layouts with thinner extended network bars and a skinnier 'about me' section. nothing works.

here's my code

Link to your myspace and another example?
your friends myspace is set to private so we can't see it.

[xohh_tragicx3]

heh whoops, sorry

here's mine

and here's an example of the skinny extended network bar

and another of the skinny 'about me' section.

sorry about that :]]

[freeflow]

Well all your layouts tend to stay the same size so why don't you use this code to just make the size of all the tables smaller?

[xohh_tragicx3]

i tried that already, and the 'about me' still stayed the way it was.

i also tried that custom skinny layout, but that didn't work either.

yeah. i'm stuck.

thanks for trying though. is there anything else i can try?

[freeflow]

More codes I guess.
This should work:

[xohh_tragicx3]

wow.
my page must just be really stubborn.
i've tried most of those codes before, and i just tried the first one you recommended.
nothing worked. go figure

thanks for trying though. much appreciated.

could there be something in my layout code that's preventing the widths from being changed?

[freeflow]

Ok I put your code in my test myspace and heres what you have to do ..
You will have to take out this part:

CODE

table table table {width:300px;}
table table td.text table {width:auto;}

Then you can use this code to change the width of about me and all tables except extended network

CODE

<style type="text/css">
table table table {width:150px;}
table table table table table table {width:20%;}
</style>

Then change the width 150 to the number you want. Lastly:

CODE

<style type="text/css"> table table table td {vertical-align:top ! important;} span.blacktext12 { visibility:visible !important; background-color:transparent; background-image:url("http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c282/x___smudge/ap20uo.gif"); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center center; font-size:0px; letter-spacing:-0.5px; width:###px; height:25px; display:block !important; } span.blacktext12 img {display:none;}</style> </style>

where it says ### change that to the width of the rest of the tables.


It works. I tested it. I'm sorry I should of thought of this first. So you wouldn't of had to try all those codes.

[xohh_tragicx3]

holy kanoly thanks so much!
it worked!

but [ yeah, always a but ] my blog section is reeeeally far to the right.
any way i can change that ?

and the extended network bar is still fat hehe. i changed the widths for that, but it still ended up the same.

i'm so sorry, i'm internet retarded :]

thanks for everything! <3

//edit// nevermind, i just hid the blogs & extended network instead.
thank you soooo much for all your help!
