| Posted: Tue Feb 28, 2006 1:53 pm Myspace - width of text in table boxes |
|
|
Hi guys, new to html, not done any form of code before, so using this site to learn.
I'm experimenting on myspace. I have movies etc in my tables, which are wider than the table allows the text to be. My question - how can I change the width that the text can use?
Many thanks

Check out Tables. You can use the attributes width to control the width some

tried it, it just resized the table.
i just want the text to use the whole table, at the moment it will only use a fixed width of it. |

erm... loads of stuff all in html
games, videos, pictures etc stretch the box width out, but the text inside the box stays in one thin column. |

| I'm having the same sort of problem. I used .lightbluetext8 {width: 500px} to make the tables under XXX's Interests and XXX's Details wider but the text is the same width and its not filling up the table across the page. |

You can use a layer to control the text if you want as well

Use something like Code: <div style="width: 200px">Lorem ipsum</div> and replace the width with the width you want and the lorem ipsum with the text you want

Hey that worked great :). I dont even need to resize the tables now because when you use that <div style> tag to change the text width it automatically adjusts the tables with it. Thanks a bunch! |

Myspace is not the way to learn HTML.
The templates are so antiquated and very difficult to customise.
I would start on my own machine with a tutorial (from a site like this one) and work through each tutorial one by one.
Once you have a good understanding apply what you have learned to myspace. |
