myspace 1.0 layout

A-then change text align and absolute position-being i have the height adjusted.?

B-on absolute position, putting a minus sign does what?

Text align just changes the info alignment inside the div.
Putting a minus makes the whole div go to the position on the other side of the center line of your screen. [everybodies screen]

like here is an example. This is very old so don't go by this but you can get the basics of what things do and what they mean. Until i redo mine here. http://www.myspaceprodesigns.com/tutorial/div/

sorry had a video tut but cant find it at the moment. Use this until i find it or make another...

don't have time today here at library to go over the basics section on that page, that is where i should go right??  on the bottom??, just a quick look at what i saw, perhaps i shouldn't have changed the text alignment, just the absolute position???....

[B.SkiLLs]

yes

[pantherseyes]

yes

tried that and not very sucessful, i do have the box underneath video where others can copy the code......i'll remove that to see if that's the problem?

[B.SkiLLs]

yes do NOT do any code boxes until you are doing with all the set up and divs.. then put content and adjust for that if needed.

so, it gets it's own divide then.

if i want to label a divide, does it go.
z-indezvideomothcaste (an example)

[B.SkiLLs]

No.. That is z-index. What z-index is is basically the stacks of things. Like one one top of another div. Works in layers basically.

To name a div class is the very first piece Mary of the div.

Like example:

.aboutme {

codes here

}


 

Then the html section of the code would look like this:

<div class="aboutme"> whatever content stuff </div>

[pantherseyes]

so, first section, no labeling, but possible for the html section before content?

and the codebox i have, put that in it's own divide?

i dont understand what you mean on the first part... nor the codebox. ???

A code box FOR CODE posting only. Is called a 'Textarea' and that has nothing to do with this unless your putting one in this top page section your talking bout making here for the reason of this post subject. Also that is a little more complicated cause its like a div inside a div. So it's a little different sometimes and could mess up the whole div or page if not done right.

Now for the rest Mary i posted a link that explains hun. READ IT as i said ok hun. It will help and explain. what each piece (CSS selector)  is for.

[pantherseyes]

1st part:

I was asking about labeling the divide and you said

No.. That is z-index.  To name a div class is the very first piece Mary of the div.

Like example:

.aboutme {

codes here

}
so, i wouldn't name it here at all then.

but this:
Then the html section of the code would look like this:

<div class="aboutme"> whatever content stuff </div>

Where you type ="aboutme", could it be done as ="mothcastevideo"    ?????

2nd part:
yes, a box for code, i want to have it at the bottom of the video, on top of the page, in the divide, i am aiming for 2 videos at top, box for code underneath them.  and other goal is to put the contact information at the top bottom of divide, and not a contact box, which if i'm understanding correctly so far, that can also be done in a divide of it's own?

okay, you said some stuff is old there so, don't go by it all, i'll read what each css selector is for then.

[B.SkiLLs]

Mary first off which i thought' you knew already but.. CSS is the style which is in style tags. HTML is seperate hun. Its not and can never be in style tags.

So... OK to try and answer what you mean here......

1st part:

 Not sure what you mean here

but this:
Then the html section of the code would look like this:

<div class="aboutme"> whatever content stuff </div>

Where you type ="aboutme", could it be done as ="mothcastevideo"    ?????

 Yes.. but would have to match the class in the div name to for that div and section..
ALSO please stop calling the divides. They are divs or div. lol. Makes me look twice at it and say uh? lol. 

You have to have both to make a div. One style part which is CSS (the stuff in the style tags) Then the HTML parts for the content etc.. Both for that div have to match. Also NOTE and remember they have to have a period at the beginning of the div class name name since your doing it in the class way instead of id

2nd part:

That's not a good idea when it comes to the videos up top. To heavy meaning to much size to them like in mb to load first on the page. Esp when its myspace already.. Takes forever for them as it is. But it would take long for it to load at top or would take even longer for the bottom parts to start loading. If somebody just wants to come in and comment or whatever.. [/quote]

Yes they can be in a div of there own. Links one in each so can position them right lined up correctly etc as i have said already.

[pantherseyes]

look for arrows down and then my text in red for my answers.

That part i knew

HTML is seperate hun.

 
that i didn't know, till now

Its not and can never be in style tags.

i was thinking, since it began with a ., i could then just put .mothcastevideo, so, this way when a change is requested, i could see the code and know, move this somewhere else, or whatever., but when you said, no, i thought you meant, nope, not here.

but this:
Then the html section of the code would look like this:

<div class="aboutme"> whatever content stuff </div>

 Yes.. but would have to match the class in the div name to for that div and section..

okay

You have to have both to make a div. One style part which is CSS (the stuff in the style tags) Then the HTML parts for the content etc.. Both for that div have to match.

 
and that would be why the first part can not be labled, right??

 Also NOTE and remember they have to have a period at the beginning of the div class name name since your doing it in the class way instead of id

 
is this stuff explained in that link you provided??  class and id??  that stuff i'm not familiar with

2nd part:

okay, i figured it's good practice for when i hit the contact links and stuff, i'd know how to do more than just one and line them up, trying to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak. and i'll advise to never have video at top, i  have seen some pics that take a few seconds to load up, when they are big, could be the internet i though., because some that are huge, load right away.

[B.SkiLLs]

Dont worry about the difference  class and id hun. Way above your head for now.

Ok now on the other parts and questions. Still not sure what you mean. By now or here or whatever you said.

you can name a div class anything almost. Only once and one name per div class.

So example CSS part which goes in the about me [with style tags correctly]:

.whatever {

  selector codes go here

}



then the html in different code section. Like who like to meet
(about me & who like to meet only refers to when on myspace)


<div class="whatever"> content goes here</div>

[B.SkiLLs]

Also Mary read out HTML section. Has CSS info and HTML. Just alittle different but same basic know how. Little different cause it's talking straight standard CSS and HTML. Not with myspace edits or rules of thumbs. [i dont think if i remember correctly] Same thing tho basically.

[pantherseyes]

i can't explain cause im confused today, so, got some reading on that link to do and im sure i'll be back with more questions......won't that be a surprise??  hahahahaahahahahaahaha

[B.SkiLLs]

Ok and yeah lol.. and start paying me too.. lol
