Myspace Customization Is yours Customized?

[CopperZepher 0]

I myself have actually signed up for MySpace, and fell into it's hold. Although I have very few friends, I recently deleted many of them because, well I'm mean to people who don't respond to my messages. BUT! My MySpace or just my Space is indeed customized. I used the generators from the good people at Chase Bad Kids (I think). There are many of them out there. I want to know if you are signed up for MySpace and if you have yours customized.But my main question here is, is there a way to use Dreamweaver to make a template or maybe there is something that you can import into Dreamweaver that is just like a Generator, but alot more customizable. I currently have Studio 8, and I'm looking for ways to make it NOT a waste of money...

I am not really aware of MySpace's customization features, but if there is anyway to directly input CSS or (X)HTML, then you can definitely use Dreamweaver to make a template or whatever.Good Luck!!

my myspace account was deleted because i used a javascript to bombard people with popups (never ending) when they went on my page... now myspace has changed it so you CANT add <script> tags

Yup.. you also can't use inline frames. Nor can you link to your style sheet.

I'm pretty sure you can't make a template in dreamweaver for a myspace page. The whole deal is kind of limited, which makes it a bit more fun and challenging to make a page that is different than everyone else.

I've found that this is a great place for myspace tips and tricks: http://www.mygen.co.uk/ it also has an easy css generator.

I read somewhere that you could use a flash movie for you myspace.. Like hide everything and replace it with a swf file. But I don't remember where I saw that

There's a tutorial for hiding your whole page at mygen:

I'm getting ideas now.

im almost certain u cant use dreamweaver because in dreamweaver... ud be making the entire site... that wont work because myspace has its set layout and tables and stuff that you cant delete... u CAN override them though... i just dont know how... itd just be too much work though... just use the codegens that r specifically made for myspace because the people that made it get the standard myspace code and stuff...

Well, there are tutorials around the Internet with wich you can do it by yourself, even if you don?t know anything about scripts. You just need to copy a previous made stylesheet and replace there the colors, fonts, etc that you want to use in your profile. I think there are also little programs which are myspace editors... I suppose they are for free. I can?t name one but try a google search with "myspace editor" or something like that.

If you view the source of a page you can get all of the neccessary classes of items and customize it appropriately with css. That's what I did and my page looks good. It looks the best in ie, because of some filters and an embedded font, but I did everything by hand.

If you were to use the profile hiding code, I don't see why you couldn't just input your dreamweaver code into the table and be done with it

although what you say might seem to make sense reatum, it does not. You need to learn html/css before making such statements.It would be very simple to hide your entire profile on myspace.. don't tell myspace, but i easily removed every banner/advertisement on my page, and replaced the footer altogether.. i only left it like that for about a week because i didnt really want to cancel my account... as far as hiding things.. its pretty simple, you just need to look at how the structure of the page is, and figure out how to use css to target the element you want removedthe attributedisplay:none will remove the item, so you need to find in the DOM where that element lives (Be careful because if you can't isolate it you'll end up removing other things as well)to remove everything on your page, use* {display:none;}i'm not sure if that works in IEif not just do thishtml, body, div, table, td {display:none;}that should remove pretty much everythingnow to remove a specific thing, can find where it occrus.lets say you have a div within a table, this would look like<table><tr><td> <div> some content in the div</div></td></tr></table>now if we wanted to screw with that div, we can get to it like thistable td div {font-size:3em;}this means it will target all divs that are within td's (table cells) that are within tableswhich would be like what i had above..Now, if you were to hide all elements and try to create a new page over it, you'd be hiding the new page as well unfortunately.. Now with a huge amount of work you might be able to hide the current page and make a halfway decent page over it.. but not through dreamweaver (well of course you could use dreamweavers editor but the WYSIWYG would be totally helpless).. You would have to somehow figure out what you could remove from myspace but still use on your own page.. i doubt it would be very good looking..
