Html coding


Question Posted Sunday October 14 2007, 3:22 pm

I have diff questions, but they're all about coding/html and stuff. I was wondering if anyone could give me links to any websites that teach you stuff about coding and html. I really want to make my own myspace layouts, but there's no way I can code by myself, and most base codes aren't that great, and some layout editors don't include some things that I'd like to edit. I'd also like links to websites that provide several codes that, for example, lets you place a pic anywhere on your myspace profile? (Where you can position it....) is that even possible and follow myspace rules? I've also seen someone put a comment box at the top of their blog page, and put a background on their blog page? How did they do that? (add them here and check it out: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) Is there a website that lets you make your own myspace layouts that let you have a banner pic at the top, and provides you many things to edit, that most editors don't? Also, for div layouts or w/e, all you have to do is plug in text and links and stuff? These aren't for Myspace (for Gaiaonline) but is there some possibilty that a layout can sorta be made like that? (from these websites: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

If you have looked at those websites, are those pics created with photoshop? I'd like to make my own myspace layouts, and I'd like them to be unique, and similar to those on the websites, I have little experience, but can anyone help a bit? Yes, I'm really curious, but coding & html fascinates me soo much, and someday, I want to be a pro, I'd like to learn most of it! :] (Sorry, I hope you get it, but I hope it's not too many questions, or it makes sense!) THANKS! <3

Learn HTML and CSS here:

And then read this (or at least the first few pages):
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

If you don't complete the HTML and CSS tutorials _entirely_, you won't have a complete understanding of myspace layouts. If you do finish them, you'll have unlimited freedom to change your myspace page.

To position an image in an exact area, do something like this:
<img src="" style="position:absolute;top:100px;left:20px">
That image will be 100 pixels from the top of the page, and 20 pixels from the left. When doing that, remember that people have different sized browsers and screens. It's extremely bad form to say "please view this in 1024x768". I will immediately exit a page that says "you must use ...", and I think less of a page that says "best viewed in ...".

It would take some time for me to figure out how to move the comment box. If, after reading all of the tutorials and that w3.org page, you can't figure it out, email me.

DIV layouts is a stupid term that newbies take to mean "easy layouts". In fact, every myspace layout is a DIV layout, because all CSS-based styles use DIVs, and all myspace layouts are CSS-based. To the novice, it may seem like I'm complaining about terminology and avoiding the question; I'm not. The term "DIV layout" simply has no meaning at all in most contexts, so I'm unable to give an answer.

Metadata indicates the design.illusional-x.net image was created with Adobe Photoshop 7.0. There isn't any metadata associated with the other image, so it's impossible to tell without asking.

Feel free to contact me for further technical help, but please use less run-on sentences and abbreviations.

Coding myspace layouts really isn't all that hard. I taught myself how to and now I make my own all the time!


What I did, was start off by taking very basic codes and just messing around with them. I did things such as changing colors, background, fonts, etc. Try starting off with that. It'll really help you get rolling :)


Then, I moved on to learning what all the junk in the codes means. For example, I know that the part of the code that says .orangetext is the part that changes the words "About Me" and "Who I'd like to meet". Finding simple things like that helps a TON!


If you need some other HTML help, here's a great website:
