PLEASE NOTE: I am no longer continually updating this thread, although there may be new posts. This thread is to ask for help for your HTML code.



I figured, since a lot of people seem to be using pre-made layouts or not using codes right for their userpages, I'd help out.

Here's some things I'll do-

1-Remove ads from codes
2-Make an embedded music code for your page
3-Find a music video (must be G-rated)
4-Create a code that changes font and page background in one shot
5-Other things, just ask

To ask for help, please put the code you want help on in quote.

Such as this. Use this by highlighting what you want in the quote, and clicking the dialog button on the left of the # sign on the toolbar

Normal Background Coding (Thank you, Neoteny)-

<table border=0 width=100% height=100% background="Picture URL here">
<tr><td>
Everything Here
</tr></td>
</table>

Thanks Schmoofy for offering your help in this area. It is a problem on User Pages and I am sure the players will appreciate your help, I do.

Schmoofy! Thank you! I want my user page to look alot better! I can't figure how to add a background, or type in a different color font. Can you help me out? :)

EDIT: I figured out how to add pictures :)

I figured this was going to come up a lot. Here is the MAIN BACKGROUND CODE.

but what goes in the space where it says everything?

All of your pictures, text, movies, etc.. goes in there.

Thanks schmoofy!

Either the picture URL you want (I'll post some example "good" tiled picutres in a bit) or a #000000 color.

Schmoofy, I tried it, but it didn't work. Here's my the picture I want for the background. http://gallery.vmkforums.com/data/500/q.jpg



Could you just write out what I need to put in my userpage with the picture?

<table border=0 background="http://gallery.vmkforums.com/data/500/q.jpg">

hey i put in the picture url i wanted for the background but it came out all white.. here's the url - http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/files/2/4/0/8/4/patdwp2copy_original.jpg


thx!

Schmoofy, I did exactly what you said, but I only got a portion of the entire picture. Help? :)

Schmoofy, I really thought you would be one of the mature ones not to say Then is Hall, but I was wrong.

And I always thought your name was The Nishall. I also always wondered what a nishall was.

;)

Schmoofy, I really thought you would be one of the mature ones not to say Then is Hall, but I was wrong.
I spelled your title "ThenIShall", as in 3 words combined, each starting with a cap- Then I Shall

Schmoofy, I did exactly what you said, but I only got a portion of the entire picture. Help? :)Try copy/pasting this entire line of text within this quote, right below the <tr><td>-

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That will spread out the page

how do i do backgrounds i really want to put the moving pink star but dont know how ? can you give the code

There is the code to use. Take your current userpage coding, and copy it. Then paste it where the words "Everything here" is.

NOTE-You will need to change your text color to a bright color, such as white or yellow.

Try copy/pasting this entire line of text within this quote, right below the <tr><td>-

That will spread out the page
A better way would probably be to set width and height parameters for the table. Change the first line to:

<table border=0 width=100% height=100% background="http://gallery.vmkforums.com/data/500/q.jpg">

A better way would probably be to set width and height parameters for the table. Change the first line to:Interesting, Neoteny. I'll need to experiment for a bit with this and find a good width.

AH! Neoteny! Confusing me! Neoteny, can you completley write out for me what I need to put in? I don't exactly know what the first line is. LOL.

but i like coolve background picture thing can i get a code for that that works and spreads out the screen :) thanks

Thenishall, try this code using Neoteny's table-

<table border=0 width=100% height=100% background="http://gallery.vmkforums.com/data/500/q.jpg">
<tr><td>
Everything here
</tr></td>
</table>

Bestroyal-

</tr></td>
</table>

Schmoofy, the code didn't do much. Maybe if you looked at my userpage it might help you perhaps?

thx so much!

~ apple ~

Schmoofy, the code didn't do much. Maybe if you looked at my userpage it might help you perhaps?
Ok, the 100% height thing didn't work right, because of the way the outside page is set up. So instead try using an absolute number:

<table width=100% height=800 border=0 background="http://gallery.vmkforums.com/data/500/q.jpg">

Schmoofy, the code didn't do much. Maybe if you looked at my userpage it might help you perhaps?It didn't do much, because all you have is the "Everything here". If you get rid of that, and add pictures/text/videos it will spread the entire page.

It didn't do much, because all you have is the "Everything here". If you get rid of that, and add pictures/text/videos it will spread the entire page.
That would work, too. :)

can i have thuis in a background http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/...y_original.jpg


thx!

Ah, this is so confusing, I took away the everything here, still the same.

EDIT: This is what I'm using for the code: <table border=0 width=100% height=100% background=http://gallery.vmkforums.com/data/500/q.jpg>
<tr><td>

</tr></td>
</table>

Can you give me one that changes the backround to two colors, liek orange and white for example?

Ah, this is so confusing, I took away the everything here, still the same.
Once you put something on the page, the background will expand behind it. The background is currently so small because there's nothing on the page.

I put some text on the page, but It's still the same :(

<table border=0 background="http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/files/2/4/0/8/4/patdwp2copy_original.jpg">
<tr><td>
Everything here
</td></tr>
</table>


can you mkae this code work it wont work ?

I put some text on the page, but It's still the same :(
Ok, I found a problem. The </tr></td> should be </td></tr>:

<table border=0 width=100% height=100% background=http://gallery.vmkforums.com/data/500/q.jpg>
<tr><td>

PUT YOUR TEXT AND IMAGES AND WHATEVER HERE.

</td></tr>

Okay neoteny, It didn't work. I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO ALL THIS AND SO ARE ALL OF YOU, the dumbo background isn't expanding!! Gah!

See if this works:
<table border=0 width=767 height=575 background="http://www.absolutepunk.net/gallery/files/2/4/0/8/4/patdwp2copy_original.jpg">

Now, what if I were to add more pictures? Where would i put those? And If I had some text to put next to the picture where would I do that?

Click where you want the image to go.

Then click the Insert Image button, which looks like this: http://www.vmkforums.com/forums/images/editor/insertimage.gif

Then put your image location (http://gallery.vmkforums.com/data/666/troncabinet.jpg) in the pop-up box and click OK.

It looks to me like it's working. I think maybe you made your background image too large, but I can still see it.

<table border=0 background="http://img139.**************/img139/9449/bestbackgroundbj8.jpg" width=100%>

What is that picture, anyway?

uh i dont know i just found it and thought it was intresting ;) i think a girl who is alone

So, did the new code work?

yea it did do you know how to do a scrol box!

yea it did do you know how to do a scrol box!

I believe a div is what you mean? Try this....

<div style="border: 0px; color: YELLOW; overflow: auto; width: 590px; height: 240px; font-size: 10pt;">CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT</div>


If you want a border change border: 0px to 1px or whatever change border color, leave overflow alone, change the width and height if you wish change font size (that is same numbers used in things like Word not ones normally used on forums) and then there you go!

i have a pic can you mkae a scroll box fomr the pic i have ?

As in that is the background?

I think I know how to do it I could pick apart codes but PM Karoinzet (uh.. Karo ;)) and he will be able to help you if you don't get an answer.

yes as in that is the background :)

I figured out how to do it. I don't have time to write the code though so just note to self when I get back from school..

background: url="vmkforums.com/image.gif" width=width of image height="height of image" rghtclck img prop. bs. cd. on up.

Makes sense to meh ;)

I'm not understanding what you people are meaning by "a scrolly-type thing." Could you point me to an example?

Schmoofy, I've noticed that you've got one of your lines reversed. Your fourth line should be:</td></tr>instead of the other way around.

Thought I would help out, for all your music needs, go to www.dogpile.com click on Audio, and search any music you want. Find the music? copy the music url and put in the music code. Dont know it by heart lol...

I need a little help please, I'm trying to get this movie http://www.*******.com/watch?v=NzW1d5z0eI4 to work on my UP, and its not working...???


Does you-tube not work? frusterating.

Got it.

Ok how do i use the pink twinkling stars with a marquee. It just messes up? Can i have a code?

Ok, I'm getting so much coding while working on my page that it's getting jumbled together and hard to tell what's what. I know there's a way in html to label things where the computer will ignore it, but I can see what is where, but have no clue how to do it. Anyone know?

Well, you found the right thread! :)

Glad I could help.

I'm having some problems with coding my layout the right way. The one I use now doesn't show up, and I'm not sure why. This is the code I'm trying to use:

<style>
#container { color: white; text-align: left; width: 847px; height: 723px; background-image: url(http://i197.****************/albums/aa224/ostrichsam/0hannahlayout.jpg); }
#content01 { padding: 4px; left: 760px; top: 291px; overflow: auto; }
#box01, #content01 { width: 588px; height: 193px; position: absolute; }
</style>
<div id="container">
<div id="box01"><div id="content01"><table>
yadda yadda
</table></div></div>
Is there something wrong? Or am I forgetting something?

OstrichSam, I don't think the VMKF userpages allow CSS coding, only HTML and BB. The first part of your code is CSS and will not work.

I thought it might be something like that.
Thanks for the help.

Can you like create a background code for me so all i need to do is add the image URL? Or is that impossible..?
Do you know how to do scrollbox codes? I tried one once and all it did was a make a tiny box in the corner of my screen -_-

hey Schmoofy,


I was wondering how you make the alert boxes?

Thanks,
Bird

Hey Schmoofy for some music can u find...

instrumental version of "A Pirate's Life for Me"?

Not trying to sound smart or anything, but I'm not sure if you know why this code isn't working. No one seems to know. =/

I'm not possitive, in that I haven't tested it with the new update, but try removing hard page breaks. That messed up my style codes, because whereever you hit enter to go to the next line, it puts a "br" code in the middle of your style code, which breaks it. See if that fixes it for you.

It appears to work, maybe not how you'd want it to. If all else fails you could make an iframe linking to your userpage (you'd have to host it on an .html file somewhere else).

Thanks for your help, guys. =)
