Does anyone know of a way to use the first method described here to cover the MySpace URL box without it increasing the height of the table?

I'm currently using the 2nd method, but am getting annoyed with the page changing itself all the time. I constantly have to keep adjusting the coordinates of the div.
Anytime I line it up right, the page moves itself again. Either the links above the ad space out or the space above my caption disappears/reappears as is the case this time: See for yourself. Notice how the floating MySpace URL box is too low, even though it was lined up perfectly 2 days ago. It is for this reason that I'd like to switch to the 1st method. It's just a shame I can't get it to work without stretching the box vertically. Any help getting either method to work unconditionally would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Updated profile, so it's different now

You don't have a div..so don't use the div method.

Simple, no?

No, not simple. That's why I'm asking how to get the first one to work _dry.gif

So maybe you forgot to put it in style tags?

It would be:
CODE
<style type="text/css">div strong {display:none;}
table table table table table {background-image:url(url to the picture); background-position:center; display:block; width:300px; height:55px;}
td.text table {background-image:none;}
td.text table table table {background-image:none; width:25%; height:auto; display:inline;}
</style>

why can't you just live with the url showing?

I'm just wondering
I mean if you don't want it to show
why not make a real div overlay.

CODE
<style type="text/css">div strong {display:none;}
table table table table table {background-image:url(url to the picture); background-position:center; display:block; width:300px; height:55px;border: 0px solid; border-color: none;}
td.text table {background-image:none;}
td.text table table table {background-image:none; width:25%; height:auto; display:inline;border: 0px solid; border-color: ffffff;}
</style>
<style type="text/css">
table table table table div {visibility:hidden;}
div table table table table table div input, div a, td.text div {visibility:visible;}
</style>

No, I didn't. I need to take out the "width:25%" to get this to work. Then it gets rid of the table backgrounds in every table after that though

If I use this code, I get the closest, but then I get the table height problem:
CODE
<style>
strong {background-image:url("http://www.jjjennnnn.x3fusion.com/images/redbox2.gif");
background-position:center; display:block; width:300px; height:55px;}
</style>
Look at my profile NOW. I just changed it to that.

Well does anyone know why the spacing keeps changing? Is this typical? No one else's profile that I look at does that, or at least not that I've noticed. Could it be a problem with my code?

No, like sometimes above my display pic/caption there's a space, and then sometimes it's right up against the top of the table. Also, sometimes the links above the ad are spaced out, and sometimes they're right up against it like on everyone else's. It'll be one way for awhile, then it'll space out, or go back, or whatever it wants to do. That's the reason I have to keep adjusting the coordinates of the div

Do you really want me to post all the code for my profile?

No, just the code to hide your myspace url.

But, like Holly I wonder, why do you need to hide it in the first place?

Someone already asked that. I want the table to look the same as the others with the heading in the white bar. I don't see what difference it makes whether I want to put something useless there or a picture of a basket of kittens, I've seen people do it without it changing their table height or affecting the contents of their Blurbs section

This is the code for if I'm using the 2nd method (the coordinates change, whenever I need to move it):
CODE
<style>
div.myspaceurl {position:relative; background-image:url(http://www.jjjennnnn.x3fusion.com/images/redbox2.gif); background-position:center; background-repeat:no-repeat; left:-347px; top:195px; width:312px; height:57px;}
</style>
and this is the code I'm currently (and unsuccessfully) using to try to get the 1st method to work:
CODE
<style>
strong {background-image:url("http://www.jjjennnnn.x3fusion.com/images/redbox2.gif");
background-position:center; display:block; width:312px; height:57px;}
</style>

What I'm asking though is, do you think that maybe somewhere else in my mess of code is something that's making the profile unpredicably space itself out randomly all the time?
