I'm having some problems with my style codeing for my livejournal layout. I have a paid account, and I created new style pages for my layout I designed. I'm using a imagemap it works fine, yet I can't get my entries to show up. I found on LJ a tutorial of how to make a image border around the entries. So, I made my own the tutorial is really for free LJ accounts, yet paid users can still use it. I put the code in my customarize area in the overrides box. It shows up right now fine, yet I would like this same code to appear in my styles because I would like to have a seperate style for my friends page since I have a different image map for the pages, and when I tried to override my friends page without it in a style. It wouldn't show up correctly that's why I think style pages has to be created. I did two screencaps of how I would like my layouts to look like right now myLJ entries appears fine, but for my friends page I would like a different image for the image map.

I hope I'm not too confuseing I'm trying to explain it in a simple way.

Here is the codeing that's right now in my style page right now in the the preview of the style only the image map shows up only and not the entries. I would like to know how to get it for both the image map the entries box to show up.



The codeing for my LJ entries page (I put this in the last box of the style LASTN_PAGE box I think that's what the big box is called )





the codeing for my friends page




If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know, and thanks for taking the time to read all of my post.

If you have a paid account, I suggest not even messing around with using overrides in the modify journal page.

For your custom page, you need to make sure that you keep in certain LJ specific tags that will allow all entries to show up in your design.

The code for your entries is %%events%%. Without that little lj code, your entries will not show up.

Also, when altering how an entry looks, you'd want to customize that in your styles section. There are different boxes available for public, private, and locked entries that you can alter to look different.

Basically what you need to do is enter in the %%events%% after your image map. That seems to be the problem with not seeing your entries.

However, like you said, your index page works fine (though in firefox it's slightly to the right instead of being centered) but your image map does not show in your friends page.

Thank you so much it helped it, and I fix the centering of it.  I just need to make the table box a bit smaller so if people using 800x600 they don't have to scroll so much, but I think I can figure that out.  Thanks again :)

I'm sorry for coming back for help again, but I'm having a minor problem with the font position. I added in my CSS stylesheet line-height: 11pt; to lead my font lines so the font lines can be a bit apart. When I do this the font position becomes a little bit too close to the edge of the table box I'm attaching in the two screen shots of my layout before adding line-height: 11pt; in the CSS and after putting in line-height:11pt.

Before I put in my CSS line-height: 11pt (I want my font to position to look like this again I don't know why once I added in line-height:11pt it made the font to go closer to the edge of the table box)



After I put in my CSS line-height:11pt (the font position for my mood,music, and written entries/comment is going too close to the edge of the table box how do I fix it?)



I tried to change the cellspaceing in the entries box, but It's not working. I was wondering If you know how to fix the font position so the font isn't so close to the table box.?

You could always just adding padding to it.

CODE
table
{padding-left: 5px;
  padding-right: 5px;
  line-height: 13px;)



I'm not saying "table" would be correct.. you can just add the padding to a style in your tables like

CODE
<table width=### style="padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px;">
