Just need basic layout help., Lost in getting layout on Myspace page. Options

[StephDigIt]

I looked back several pages here and on the resolved topic page but didn't see quite what I needed.

i basically found a Myspace layout I would like to use but I am a clueless moron and I can't figure out how to use it. I copied and pasted the code of one just to try it,was one of the first ones in the abstract section that I saw,just to get a feel for them,but when I viewed my Myspace page all I saw was everything on the mock layout and none of my own info,photos,etc.

So basically I want to use one of the Myspace abstract layouts but keep all the info I have on my Myspace page. Is that possible?
I apologize for the stupidity in advance.
If you need my Myspace it is private so I would have to add you,just ask and it shall be done for help purposes. Thanks so much!!

There ya go,and I believe it is DIV,but forgive me,what does that stand for? (I did look to see what that stood for but did not see an answer.)

[StephDigIt]

I will look in the code and try that before I make myself look any more dumb,lol. Thanks so much!!

[StephDigIt]

Holy moly,ok,I just TRIED to look through the code to see if I could figure out how to do that,and I don't think I can. Would anyone be willing to help me do this?

Remember, I do custom designs, but read details <a href="http://baretta.uni.cc/"title="baretta.awardspace.com/services.php">here</a> first. Follow the terms to use this design.

and thats all!

just remember NOT to edit the first code, but the 2nd one ONLY..

[StephDigIt]

I'm still pretty much lost.
I almost went blind trying to do this a few times and it never looked right at all.
If anyone can help please let me know. Thanks!

[Jghelfi]

well we can do it for you, but you are going to have to support us with the things you want in the DIV.
oh and tell us what goes where, just to be sure, cuz i dont want a "No! that's not right!"

[StephDigIt]

Ok,I think I have everything figured out but the comment box,it still says:
CSS Elements
Font Bold Italic Underline Strike
then shows the box and the comment button. Any help how to fix this. I am pretty much all the way home and just need help with THAT.
Thanks everyone!!

Is that what you mean?
Sorry...just very confused.

Just take out the CSS elements so it will look like this:

CODE

<blockquote><form method="post" action="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vY29tbWVudHMubXlzcGFjZS5jb20vaW5kZXguY2ZtP2Z1c2VhY3Rpb249dXNlci4NCkNv

<textarea name="f_comments" cols="50" rows="6">Sample Comment Box</textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="COMMENT" /></form>

</blockquote>

[StephDigIt]

I thought I linked it correctly but when I type in a comment and hit the enter button it brings up a confirm box that says,
"This web page is being directed to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?"

Then it sends you to the comment page where you would have to enter the comment all over again.
I guess I'm almost there. One thing I am missing yes? The link is wrong? I have again looked to see how to fix to no avail.
I have figured most everything else out,so thanks for this bit of help.

Have you changed the FriendID input area to your own friend ID? I'm talking about this bit:

CODE

<input name="197422862" value="197422862" type="hidden" />

Replace it with this:

CODE

<input name="FriendID" value="197422862" type="hidden" />

Then replace 197422862 with your own friend ID, if that's not yours already. See if it works.

Yeah,that is my friend id(197422862),I put that in there from the onset.

Alright, then replace your comment box codes with this:

CODE

<blockquote><form method="post" action="http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.ConfirmComment"><input name="FriendID" value="197422862" type="hidden" />
<textarea name="f_comments" cols="50" rows="6">Sample Comment Box</textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="COMMENT" /></form>

</blockquote>

<textarea name="f_comments" cols="50" rows="6">Sample Comment Box</textarea><br />
<input type="submit" value="COMMENT" /></form>

</blockquote>

See if that works.

Ok,the same redirect page came up as I stated before,but it does redirect to the comment confirmation page,so that would be it then I guess.
Thanks so much!!

No problem. Topic closed & moved.
