Hey guys, I feel silly asking this question since you all seem to be so much more advanced than I am, but a friend of mine wants me to change his Myspace code. He told me about a profile he saw where everything was changed. Even the text in the menu links. How do you get into this part of the code? and then, when you do finally find it, where do you post it so that it works on the profile? I have a general knowledge of code and such, do I have to be more advanced to be able to do this? Thanks....

uh What exactly are you asking?

Code?
I have code for you but not sure if it will help you with MySpace.

You want customizable HTML code to use in MySpace?
There are some topics on MySpace here I suggest checking some of them out.

I have another silly question and it is ...what is Myspace code? I have seen it here in some of the forums but I don't even know what it is, much less how to help some one with questions about it. Is it a premade site, a CMS, or just what?

Myspace code is the code that makes up a Myspace profile. Myspace is a networking website.

Sorry I wasnt more clear in my post. Let's see if I can clarify things. My friend wants me to edit the code for his Myspace profile. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to edit the whole profile rather than just the background and link colors. does that make sense?

I understand what you are talking about. I haven't done much research about that myself and I'm a bit of a newbie with all the coding stuff. What I can tell you is that from what I understand you will have to customize your own DIV to cover or go over the existing MySpace nav bar. I have a couple of friends who have done this. You can try the Myspace forums. Or here's the thread I found in one of the group forums. Sorry I can't help you further. Hope it helps a little though.

I think you should have some basic knowledge of HTML and CSS in order to do the coding.
Here are some guides that maybe useful to you:
MySpace HTML FAQ
HTML Tutorial
CSS Turtorial
Or you can post your request here in details. I'll see if I can help you.

All your CSS code goes into the About Me: section ABOVE anything you type there. For an example here is the code I am currently working on for my profile:



This changes the background to a dark grey with dark red borders around all the tables. The main portion of the text is white with some of the headings bright red. The colors of links are changed to a brighter blue than the default to make them show up better. For more help go to the Myspace Forum titled Myspace -> Customizing.


I forgot to add that although all your CSS goes in the About Me: section you can still use HTML tags to change individual elements in the other sections of your profile. For instance <B>bold</B> to make it bold, <I>italic</I>, etc.
