Hey guys....i'm having a MAJOR issue that's been driving me insane all night..
I'm trying to change my background but every time i've changed it it's only come up under the very top "myspace" title area of the page...the rest of the background remains white.....i thought it was the codes i copied...but i tried a few different ones to make sure and ones from different pages etc.....
and yes, i'm sure these are suppossed to fill the page coz only the top section of pictures come up in the specified area! I'm thoroughly annoyed with it right now and NEEd help, pleaasee!!!!!

Thank you sooo much!

roxypox,

Your problem is actually a really easy one. What you need to do is find your table tags in your stylesheet and put the following in it:
CODE

table {
  background-color : transparent;
}

There are actually a few tables there, all need to have transparent backgrounds.

Having no idea what Table Tags and Stylesheets are i experimented putting the code in alot of other codes lol but no such luck!!
So if you wouldn't mind explaining what these terms mean then i would absolutely love ya!! tongue.gif

Thank you soooo much!! :-D

somewhere in your code you will see something like this :

CODE
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>


except instead of those &nbsp;'s you will have some sort of content. tables are how your page is layed out.

here is an explainer of tables though you need some html background knowledge to get it :
http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/showtopic19252.htm

anyways, stylesheets, also known as cascading style sheets (css) are a way to format and change the way your page looks . the
CODE
background-color :transparent;
is a style attribute of tables.

at the beginning of your page in the head area of the html there should be a style section.

it will look like this :
CODE

<style type="text/css">
<!--
-->
</style>

but have a bunch of stuff in it.
so just add table to it and the attribute transparent
CODE

<style type="text/css">
<!--
table {
    background-color: transparent;
}
-->
</style>


not sure if that made sense completely. see if you get it.

i put it in after <style> but before </style> n did nothing....there's also a code i have for one of them little bunnyherolabs.com animal things with a table section like mentioned in the last post so i tried putting the code in there also but again did absofruitly nothing....

for one. thats not the code we would need to see.

also, put it in the [*code] [/code] tag , but remove the astericks, when you post it to dream.in.code. much easier to read.

just copy and paste the whole thing i guess.
