MySpace Divs

ALL,

Sorry if this is an old question, if so, please point me to the correct post.

I am new to css and mostly how it works on MySpace. I have made div overlays but do not know add image links that can be clicked to a new url.
Also how do you add text to divs in MySpace, I used h2 an p elements and they are not working, the MySpace div code is below:

.div2{
position:absolute;
top:173px;
left:40%;
margin-left:-100px;
width:300px;
height:300px;
z-index:3;
padding:0px;
border:15px solid yellow;
background-color:4a4a4a;
<h2>This is a test</h2>

Do I have to build some sort of table/container to house linkable images/text/and swf files? I am sure it's simple, again I'm new.

Thank you in advance,
cgfX

If you're going to do MySpace CSS customization by hand, you need to go through the mark up and use the established heirarchy of parent/child elements.

If you want to add graphics, links, etc., you just insert the markup, or CSS, into the About Me section. For instance, go to the control panel, edit "About Me" and insert...

digitalMedia,

Thank you for your help, maybe it is something I am not understang, if you go to the page I am building: http://www.myspace.com/dianeandtroy

You will see a div with a thick yellow borders, that is the div code above.
I want to put a linkable image or text or swf INSIDE of that yellow border.

Say if you had a photo of yourself that you wanted to place inside of the box with the yellow borders, and then link that photo to your home site, how would you do that? Does the code you sent me need to be placed within the above .div2 {} curly brackets?

Thanks

Ah, no...The CSS and the markup are separate. The ".div2{}" is the style definition (CSS). You'll want to insert the code I posted wherever you've put...

So, it would look like this...

digitalMedia,

Thank you a second time, now I believe I need you once more.

**Below Is How I Added The Code**

As you see, I added your code below the style sheet code, also I added above the style sheet and inside the style sheet in many spots, and nothing worked for me. All of that is in the "About Me" box on MySpace.

In the "I'd Like to Meet" box, I have the below code.

<div class="blankslate"></div>



<div class="div1"></div>

<div class="div2"></div>

<div class="div3"></div>

<div class="div4"></div>
<div class="comments" align="center"><table><tr><td><table><tr><td>

Where I'm I going wrong?

Thanks again,

cgfX

Let's see here...



The <h2> above shouldn't be in your style definitions. You can just remove that tag.



The above is correct, but that is what you should have in your "I'd like to meet" box, not just an empty DIV.

Hope that helps. Don't hesitate to keep coming back.
