[russthebear]

im trying to do this on this page

www.myspace.com/russthebear

www.geocities.com/russellbernstein/aboutme.htm

i know, you guys might be laughing...but nobody has tried this....and it might be useful to your guys' projects!

use it for free...tell me how to make it work on myspace

hi what u would like to know about the google ad hide & seek. or
the scroller which are coming on the text.

www.geocities.com/russellbernstein/aboutme.htm

[The Little Guy]

It can't be done, since that uses javascript, and myspace doesn't support javascript

[The Little Guy]

but you can do something like this:
<br><DIV style="height:550px; width:800px;overflow:scroll;border:none 0px solid"><table>

Place after <style> and </style> in the About Me: section, What ever is above this, it will not be shown inside of the Scroller. any <style> and </style> that are below this, will make this not work for Internet Explorer Users

When you preview it, you will need to scroll down within that new scroller, to submit.

there is NOT any javacript

the javascript you see when you view source is automatic from the geocities server for the pupose of advertising because i dont pay...this javascript is not on the myspace page for two reasons: (1) they dont allow javascript, otherwise i would be using cool javascript allllll over the place, and (2) the aforementioned javascript has nothing to do with what i am trying to accomplish

i use IE6, and so do most people, so this needs to work in IE6...i dont care about FF or netscape or safari or whatever other people use...IE6 only is fine

is there a code i could use to FORCE the person to use IE6? or give them a link which gives the option to RE-OPEN the page in IE6?

[The Little Guy]

yes there is javascript part of it is right here:

<a onclick="document.all.menuaboutme.style.display = 'none'">Close and stop reading about me</a>

[russthebear]

href is allowed....why not onClick

or is it the part about document.all.menuaboutme.style.display ....but isnt that CSS???

[The Little Guy]

onclick is javascript that is why it won't work with myspace if it was CSS, it would work great.

[russthebear]

ok...then instead of onClick, what would serve the same purpose....what would work the same way...what would make me happy??????????

[The Little Guy]

You can't do this without javascript

[russthebear]

ugh!!

yes you can...you have to be able to

there isnt anything? DHTML is ok, too

[The Little Guy]

The DHTML contains javascript

[russthebear]

myspace moderators say that html, dhtml, and css are OK

[The Little Guy]

And they are correct on that.

Sice to make this expand/collapse menu, you must use javascript, and javascript will be embeded into either the HTML, or DHTML, it won't work.

<a onclick="document.all.menuaboutme.style.display = 'none'">Close and stop reading about me</a>

This color is javascript

This color isn't javascript

[russthebear]

oh...i thought you said the onclick was JS...ok...so it is the document.part...but i thought that part was CSS because of style

well...how do i change those style display settings?
