Hey -

I've been working on the layout for my LiveJournal, but for some reason, the word "Comments" won't show up anywhere on my screen. =/

That's never happened before, and I'm not sure how to fix it.

my livejournal

I'm using pretty simple coding too..

GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">

<!--
body, td, font, div, p {
font-family: "Century Gothic", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
font-size: 7.5pt;
}
-->

<!--
body {

scrollbar-track-color: #EEEEEE;

scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
}
-->

<!--
/* change these numbers, make them add up to 100 or less*/
table {
width: 40%;
margin-left: 50%;
margin-right: 5%;
}
/* don't change these numbers */
table table {
width: 100%;
margin: -15%;
}
table table table {
height: 100%;
width: 0;
}
>-->

<!--
table {
border: 3px dashed #000000;
}
table table {
border: 0;
}
-->

</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD


Any ideas on what's going wrong?
What can I do to fix the problem?

First of all, your css is beyond shitty.

Remove the <-- and --> that you have in there.
Those are not needed.

Then change the style of your journal to "generator."

Thanks so much for your help. <3

I got the code from this site, and then changed the image/colors/stuff like that to how I wanted. [I don't know much about coding except for changing the percentages/fonts/pictures.. stuff like that.]
So thanks for letting me know about the arrows.

But when I changed it to Generator, it meshed everything together and you can't see the rest of the entry.
I left it that way for now.. =/

Any other ideas on what I can do?

ah, I figured it out somewhat.

Not exactly how it was supposed to be, but it works just the same ^.^
I changed it to "Clean & Simple" instead

Thanks for your help <3

That's because you need to edit your coding.

Almost all overrides that are posted around the internet are for generator. When you edit them, and you have no idea what you're doing, it won't look right--obviously.

I mean, the one you definitely need to change is the "margin: -15%;"
That will make everything look funky.
