(I changed my myspace URL since the original post)

This is my third DIV overlay... it's best viewed in 1024x768 resolution in IE.
In Firefox it looks ok apart from the comment box is too large for the box it's placed inside of (if anyone knows how to fix this, please share).
It's also different from my last one in that this one is more focused around the content, and not around a huge header graphic.
Comments and suggestions are appreciated; you provided good ideas for the last layout I posted here.

Lookin` good. GJ.

I agree with Ralph, the colors are a little bit odd. It makes me kind of not like how the layout is in a way pinch.gif I guess I've never actually thought of putting green and orange together -shrugs-
The layout set up is nice though, the comment box is about 2px bigger than the box its supposed to be in though. I'm sure most don't notice that so I wouldn't worry about it to much.

Haha I know the colors are odd. I wanted it to be like that. I'm tired of using the same old colors in my layouts. happy.gif

If you don't mind me asking, what browser do you use that the comment box is only 2px bigger than the box?
For me it looks perfect in IE, but is wayyy off in Firefox. I haven't tested it in any other browsers though.

Thanks for your comments!

At the moment I'm using AOL browser, I suppose its sits in the middle of IE and FF.

I wouldn't worry about it to much, as long as you like the layout and its fine for you.

Yeah it doesn't really bother me too much. But I am curious to know if it is possible to make a comment box the same size across all browsers.

I did some googling and it seemed hopeless.

Yea you can. All my layouts work in all browsers..

You can use this if you want:

CODE
<form method="post" action="http://comments.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.ConfirmComment"><input name="friendID" value="RAWRR" type="hidden"><textarea name="f_comments" style="width: 150; height: 15px;" cols="10" rows="7" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: 000000; font-family: small fonts; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1pt;font-size: 7px; color: ffffff; background-color: 000000;" style="overflow:auto;">hey. </textarea> <br> <input value="submit" style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: a08783; font-family: small fonts; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1pt;font-size: 7px; color: ffffff; background-color: 000000;" type="submit"> <input value="reset." style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: 000000; font-family: small fonts; text-transform:uppercase; letter-spacing:1pt;font-size: 7px; color: ffffff;  background-color: 000000;" type="reset"></form>


Change the width and height to how big you need the comment box. Change the RAWRR to your friend ID.

Thankss I got it to resize. Then I had issues because it was out of alignment when I switched browsers, but I realized that was because of two breaks I had before the form code. Grr.

But it looks good now. Thanks a lot.

i kinda like the colors, lol. they're funky.

i just wish there was some way to turn the music off. if there is, then i might just have missed it.

overall you did a good job.

The only problem that I had is that I'm using AOL and for some reason when I'd go to your page it would kick me offline. Maybe that's just my computer.
But I like it. thumbsup.gif

Yeah the control is a little gray button to the right of the song information, in the about me box. when it's playing it should show the pause symbol. and when it's not you can press play to make it start.

wait, what did Holly say that I should listen to? that my colors are strange? haha

PS I should clarify, i'm not offering this layout for download or anything. i made it for my personal use only.

and if i continue getting so many multiple hits from this site, i'm gonna have to make my profile private. seriously. it's ridiculous. haha. it makes me paranoid. i'm gonna get stalkers.

why showcase your layout if you are uncomfortable with so many people looking at it?

oh, i'm not uncomfortable with that.
i'm uncomfortable with random people viewing my page over and over again and reading all my blogs, etc.
not that anyone's doing that or anything

never mind. haha im just paranoid

PS I'm thinking i might change the colors in the future, just to give my page a different look without having to make a completely new layout. lol. i suppose i might make those colors a bit more conventional. idk.

I really like it, I actually like the color combination a lot. I think it would look way better centered, and maybe a less busy background, but overall, excellent placement and especially colors. (:

I'm not sure if I'm totally feeling the colors but the layout of everything is nice and easy to navigate.
