So far I have only been changing the existing code I have been using. I haven't been adding more to it. But if I wanted to add something to it, how important is the placement of it? Like for example if I wanted to make parts of my profile transparent, where in the code would I put the information?

#profile, #details, #wishlist, #about, #journal, #friends, #comments, #signature { background: none; }

Doesn't matter where you put it in the code so long as it is in the right tags, seperated from different parts with semicolons, and it doesn't clash with existing code.

[Silent Howler]

Alright then. Do you know how partial transparency works though?

No, sorry. Never actually messed around with it myself.

[Silent Howler]

That's alright. I can always start my own topic asking about that.

I hope that the person who originally created that layout endorses your editing of it..

This is the code you would use for partial opacity:
SECTIONID{opacity: 0.85; -moz-opacity: 0.85; filter:alpha(opacity=85);}

You change "SECTIONID" to the ID of the section you want transparent (or you could just do all of the content), and you can edit the numbers (opacity = 0-1, -moz-opacity: 0-1, filter:alpha = 1-100) to change the amount of transparency.

Alright. I'll try doing that but if I have any problems I'll come back here.

Well, I'm basically just using it as a structured model. I'm not an expert on this and I'm not skilled enough to make an entire code on my own. I intend changing much of the original coding and personalizing it to my own desires.

Yes, but they still spent the time to create it, and you wouldn't have been able to make your layout without them.

I'm not saying you should be ashamed, I'm just saying that it would be nice if you informed them of it, or at least put a credit like "code originally be ???, edited by Silent Howler".

It's just a suggestion though. Unfortunately, taking code is not against the rules, since no one owns code.

Well, I suppose I could. But really when you get down to it a lot of profiles use very similar coding. I could just as easily have made what my profile looks like now using a different coding. If I had left most of it the same except adding a border and making it transparent, then it would be more fitting to say "code originally be ???, edited by Silent Howler".

One little question, what do I change "SECTIONID" to if I want to change all of the content?

anybody here know how you get a #about ol section to have a hover like a status bar can?

The SECTIONID would be "#content" or ".section".

Alright. Seem to be working. Thanks.

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for so... sweatdrop

anybody here know how you get a #about ol section to have a hover like a status bar can?

It's a stupidly long process that was expiremented with before.

Since it is not compatible with most browsers and is etchy to begin with, as well as difficult to code, I would say it most likely isn't worth it to try.
