step three in making a div/overlay layout? here's the code that i hav 4 that step.

CODE

<div class="bg" style="position: absolute; left:0px; top:165px; width:320px; height:240px; overflow: hidden;">
<img src="<a href=" /><img src="http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/9761/basketballvl9.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vaW1nNjA0LmltYWdlc2hhY2sudXMvY29udGVudC5waHA/cGFnZT1ibG9ncG9zdCZmaWxlcz1pbWcyMjgvOTc2MS9iYXNrZXRiYWxsdmw5LmpwZw==" title="QuickPost"><img src="http://imageshack.us/img/butansn.png" alt="QuickPost" border="0" /></a> Quickpost this image to Myspace, Digg, Facebook, and others!"&gt;

Thats how it should look.

And it gives you a positionable background for your divs.

Step three is for putting up the main/background image of your DIV layout. You can change its different attributes according to your liking. You can place as many images to construct your DIV layout as you can by repeating that code, as well, in case you want to slice up images and upload them separately.

ok so like, there r 2 backgrounds on a div then? because in step one i believe, you get 2 put up a background. so is step three 4 those little boxes that you put whatever u want n them? n also, on my layout rite now, i hav some yellow boxes in front of the background image (i made the boxes yellow i think). is that where some of my information will go? and the boxes are not all the same size. i think the boxes came up n step one when it asked if we wanted comments 2 show or not. n i said no so i put n a code that hid my whole profile...

[Mickey]

It's technically having an image inside a DIV, which is usually used to position it properly. So it's just one background, really. What you're calling the other background is the image that is placed inside it. That's actually the layout image, not the background image.

Yes, step three is for the little boxes where you can put whatever you want inside. Step three is basically step four, except step three is for the layout image while step four is for the content that you're putting OVER the layout image.

The yellow boxes should be where your information will go. They don't have to be all the same size, but you can have it that way if you like.

I don't really understand your last question, if that's a question. Do you mind clarifying?

ok. so can i hav as many layout images as i want?

n yes, i want all the yellow boxes the same size sorta.

ok like n step one, that's how u hide the profile rite? well on my pg., after i decided i didn't want comments 2 show n i put n the code, nothing was on my page but 5 little boxes. there was one skinny one on the top left, then a bigger one under that, n one about the same size under it. then there was another skinny one on the right n a medium sized one on the right. i'm saying is that where u would put ur information n the layout image? n is it possible to stretch them out?

[Mickey]

Yes, you can have as many layout images as you want. If you want your yellow boxes to be the same size, please post your code so it's easier for me to help.

That code wasn't the one that added 5 little boxes. Those are what you call DIV scrollboxes. They're the same as for the layout image. It's used to place content on your page, so that's where you would put your information. By changing a DIV scrollbox's attributes, you can have it look how you want:

CODE

<div class="content" style="position: absolute; left:50%; margin-left:0px; top:0px; width:0px; height:0px; overflow: auto;"><center>
CONTENT HERE
</div>

To change its positioning, change the margin-left and the top pixels. To change its height and width, change the height and width pixels. It's basically replacing the 0's. Just don't mess with left:50%; because that helps to have your profile look right on other resolutions.

To add information to a DIV scrollbox, just replace the text that says CONTENT HERE with your information.

If you want to remove the yellow stuff, look for this part in your codes:

CODE

{The actual modules}
table table table {border: 1px solid; border-color: 000000; background-color: FFCC33; }

Remove it and the yellow boxes should go away.

also, do u hav n e suggestions 4 the pixels on the content?

Mind clarifying your question?

ok so tell me again. the layout images r used 2 place content inside of them rite?

Mind clarifying your question?

like the pixels 4 the content code u just gave me. i'm not sure where 2 start. like wat should i place in like the left or right or sumthing 2 make the content at least visible 4 now?

Reason for edit: Merged double posts. - Cristy

[Mickey]

Ah, that code. What you first need to do is put a lot of random text inside the DIV. Just for now, so you can clearly see where your DIV is going or what's happening to it. It should look like this:

CODE

<div class="content" style="position: absolute; left:50%; margin-left:0px; top:0px; width:0px; height:0px; overflow: auto;">
Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah.
</div>

Remember, it's just for now. Once you've positioned it to your liking, you can go ahead and change the words into your own information. What you first need to do is change the height and width pixels. That'll determine how big your DIV scrollbox will be. Then, start playing around with the margin-left and top pixels, which will determine where your DIV scrollbox will be.

ok and the content ends up on top of the layout image rite?

[Mickey]

It can end up anywhere you want it to be. If you wanted it over the layout image, sure. It depends on the amount of pixels you put in the code that I provided.

ummmm... srry. well wat do u want me 2 do nstead of quoting u?

ok so if i didn't want a layout image i don't hav 2 hav 1 do i?

[dreamsbecomereal...]
