HTML Help

Ok, I wanted to post my gamercard on myspace and I noticed that mygamercard.net has an NXE theme which is really cool. So I'd thought it'd be kinda cool if I took the bottom half of my avatar and aligned it with the photo on the actual gamercard, but it's not as easy as I thought.

this is as far as I got. any advice would be awesome.

also, this is my first post. I'm here to actually learn more html, not to just get help with this.

MySpace has no concept of proper HTML/CSS coding. :P Is the game card generated via script or can you download it and use a graphics editor? What I was thinking is to just make a new image with the bottom half of your Avatar. Then just code the new image into where the old one is. Lot easier than messing with HTML and MySpace quirks.

hahaha this is very very true. and the gamercard is generated through a script. when I unlock an achievement and points are added to my gamerscore, that card updates as well.(god, that sounded really nerdy)

I already aligned and cut out what would be the bottom of the avatar. so its just a matter of getting it where it needs to go. but, if need be I dont think i'd really have a problem with downloading the gamercard as an image and then attaching the bottom half of the avatar and changing it every now and then when my gamercard is updated.

Do you have just the JavaScript code for card, avatar image link and any container code for card and avatar image? Maybe I can come up with something that may work.

Code: <a href="http://profile.mygamercard.net/a+narwhal">
<img src="http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/a+narwhal.png" border=0>
</a>

would be the code. so, i suppose it's an image linked to the site. so every time the site updated, so does the image. so, thinking back, it's no a script. I have no idea why I said that. wow.

No script might make it easier. :P Let me see what I can come up with if I can get your card and image to display ok here. What's link to the Avatar half you want to use?

Code: <div style="width: 300px; margin: 0 auto;">
<a href="http://profile.mygamercard.net/a+narwhal"><img style="width: 300px; height: 135px; border: 0;" src="http://card.mygamercard.net/nxe/a+narwhal.png" alt="Game Card"><div style="width: 300px; height: 134px;"><img style="width:109px height: 134px; padding-left: 199px; border: 0;" src="http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7858/connorjtransox3.png" alt="Avatar"></div></a></div> Looked good in Firefox and IE.

Guess you either died or code didn't work. Problem with providing some feedback here?

---edit----

You're welcome. Ah, school! I remember that. :P

Please be sure to download the bottom part of your avatar at http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/7858/connorjtransox3.png as it may get deleted when I go through and periodically delete images I no longer use or need (or think I do).

Glad it worked for you.
