Need some help positioning text on userlookup please.

Mon May 09, 2005 12:40 am

Is there a way to position text anywhere you want it to go on your userlookup? I know how to do it with images:

i.anypic1{background:url(IMAGE URL GOES HERE);height:80;width:80;position:absolute;top:630;left:575}
</style>
<i class="anypic1"> </i>

I just change the "top" and "left" numbers in order to move the pic where I want it.

So what's the code to move a line of text?
Specifically a linked line of text, this for example:

<a
href="/search.phtml?selected_type=pet&string=RupertRuxpin"><b></i>RupertRuxpin</b></a>

It's appearing centered at the very top of my lookup but I'd like to move it somewhere else.

If you look at the lookup of one of my side accounts you can see what I am talking about: viggos_exene

You will notice in addition to the 4 pets I have on that account I have positioned 4 pictures of pets from other accounts below. I want to put their linked names underneath their pictures just like it appears underneath the pets that belong to that account.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Please use small words though because I know nothing about computer coding. I just cut and paste codes from CSSHelp's petpage and other neopians who are generously sharing there expertise and hope I get the results I am looking for.

Hi

Well, I don't use the anypic or mypic codes anymore.

What I do is do all my css first - the topper, banner, sidebar, background, any filters, the td, p link/hover/visited text size/type/color ... all that stuff.

Then I close my style and use html.

So I do

<style type="text/css">
all my banner, background, etc. stuff
</style>
Then I enter the <img src information so everything shows up where it belongs.

Then here is how I input for pictures and my "b" table - any information I want:

This is just in case you would like to add an image above the information you type in yourself. You will of course be changing the width and height to the actual size of the image you are adding. NOTE that this goes AFTER your image information for your top, tbit, sidebar and shield and BEFORE your div box that you type in.


<p>
<TABLE WIDTH=343 HEIGHT=123 ALIGN=center><TR><TD ALIGN=center>
<img src=image.gif width=343 height=123></TD></TR></TABLE>

Now your information:

<p>
<br>
<div class=box><strong> Hi and welcome to my lookup.<p>
I'm just typing extra so you can see the scroll bar on this<p>
<center>About Me!</center><p>
I think it's kind of a nice way to have all your information and not have the entire page be long.<p>
</div>


This will put your information in a scroll box, the strong command is the same as bold - it just makes the text stand out more, which I like. But you don't have to use strong.

If you don't want your information in a box, do all your css stuff, then </style></i> and type what you want. It'll just be there.

Hope that helps some.
