Nasty myspace CSS help... (Don't kill me.)


Question

I'm not too good with CSS, and I've been throwing together some stuff for my myspace.

I'm trying to make it nice and minimalistic, less cluttered than the default myspace layout.

The code so far is a collection of stuff copied and pasted and slightly tweaked, mainly from the Katamari myspace code site.

Katamari website: http://abrax.us/katamari/

My Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/xarrelsprofile

My question is quite simple in essence. But might be hard to figure out the answer to, or maybe not. As I said, I'm not experienced in CSS, so I have no idea.

So here goes:

The following code is entered in the "General" section of my interests, the rest of the interest sections are blank.

The code is for a small custom interests table which I designed using a generator on Katamari.

There is also an extra table added at the bottom of the code which contains a comment box also designed on Katamari.

<style>
.katamari Custom Interests {http://abrax.us/Katamari/CustomInterestsSection.php}
.customInterestsTable {position:relative; top:-90px; margin-bottom:-15px;}
.interestsAndDetails {display:none;}
.space {background-color:white;}
.mainTitle {display:none;}
.customInterestsTable {border:0px;}
.customInterestsTable td {border:0px;}
.customInterestsTable td {width:0px !important;}
.customInterestsTable .lightbluetext8 {font-size:13pt !important; letter-spacing:-1.5pt; line-height:6px; background-color:6699cc; display:block; text-align:left; text-transform:lowercase;}
.leftSide .lightbluetext8 {color:333333;}
.leftSide {background-color:FFFFFF !important;}
.rightSide {background-color:FFFFFF !important;}
.customInterestsTable .lightbluetext8 {background-color:BBBBBB;}
</style>
</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
<table class="customInterestsTable" bordercolor="6699cc" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="200" bgcolor="6699cc" border="1"><tr><td class="text mainTitle" width="300" bgcolor="6699cc">   <span class="whitetext12">Dipp's Interests</span>
</td></tr><tr><td><table class="space" bordercolor="000000" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3" width="300" border="0"><tr><td class="leftSide" valign="top" width="100" bgcolor="b1d0f0">
<span class="lightbluetext8">About<br />Me...</span></td><td class="rightSide" width="175" bgcolor="d5e8fb"><font size="1">
I drink Coffee.<br />
I smoke 'occasionally.'<br />
I read books.<br />
I watch the news.<br />
I love Mock the Week.<br />
I get bored far too easily...<br />
</font></td></tr></table>

>>Note to neowin forums: This is where the interests table finishes. Below is a table I added to contain the comment box.

<table border="0" bgcolor="FFFFFF"><tr><td><style> .katamari Comment Box Manager 2.0 { http://abrax.us/Katamari/CommentBoxManager.php }
.commentBox {background-color:#ffffff;}
.commentBox td {background-color:transparent}.commentBox {border:1px Solid; border-color:black;}
.commentBox .titleTD {display:none;}
.commentBox .inputBox {display:block; width:100%;}.commentBox .inputBox {background-color:white;}
.commentBox {width:200px;} .commentBox .inputBox {height:80px;}
.commentBox .inputBox {border:1px Solid; border-color:black;text-align:left;font-family:Tahoma; color:#000000; font-size:13px;}
.commentBox .buttons input {width:100%;}
.commentBox .postButton {font-family:Tahoma; color:black; font-size:12px;}
</style>
<table class="commentBox" bgcolor="FFFFFF">
<form method="post" action="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile_commentForm&friendID=106577045">;tr><td><input type="hidden" name="__EVENTTARGET" id="__EVENTTARGET" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__EVENTARGUMENT" id="__EVENTARGUMENT" value="" />
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="" /><textarea class="inputBox" name="ctl00$cpMain$UserWriteCommentsControl$commentTextBox">It would fill me with endless joy if you were to leave me a quick comment. You should do that, as it would also make you feel better about yourself as a person. ♥</textarea>
</td></tr><tr class="buttons"><td><input type="submit" name="ctl00$cpMain$UserWriteCommentsControl$postcommentImageButton" class="postButton" value="Post that!" /></td></tr></form></table></td></tr></table>

The problem is that a small blue box, presumably a table cell, appears next to the comment box. I can't figure out how to turn the box white, so that it matches the background of the profile.

The table that the comment box is in has only one cell. So far I have tried:

  • Changing the background colour of the table ( <table border="0" bgcolor="FFFFFF"> )
  • Changing the background colour of the cell ( <td bgcolor="FFFFFF"> )

But the blue box is still there, as you can see if you click the link near the top of the post.

I know that myspace code is a huge pain however...

If you could help me in any way, I would be very grateful. Thanks. ^_^

    • Have they explained the nuts and bolts as to why it must exist? I deleted thinking it was a glitch with the update. After MS insisting it needs to be there, I turned on ISS then off via the proper features function. The folder showed up, the was removed automatically.
    • Never heard of the game, visually looks like a weird merge of GTA with 3Dmark's benchmarks
    • Atomic Heart is getting a sequel and an MMO RPG spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Atomic Heart arrived in 2023 as one of the biggest action game surprises, offering players an alternative history version of the Soviet Union to explore where the player is in the middle of a robot uprising. Just as the original passes 10 million players, developer Mundfish today unveiled two new games at the Summer Game Fest showcase. First up is Atomic Heart 2, a full-fledged sequel that has players returning to the over-the-top retrofuturistic setting for another wacky adventure. The studio promises an expanded RPG system, a story that picks up from the original, bringing back all the fan-favorite characters, as well as an "explosive combat system" that now let players use both hands for their powers and standard weaponry. “Ever since the launch of the original Atomic Heart, we’ve been floored by the unwavering support and enthusiasm of our playerbase. When we set out to create the Atomic Universe, we never imagined that the community would respond with such amazing passion,” shared Robert Bagratuni, Founder and CEO of Mundfish, and Game Director of Atomic Heart 2. He continues, “It’s been hard sitting on this announcement for so long, but today, at Summer Game Fest, we’re incredibly happy to finally and officially announce that Atomic Heart 2 is coming, and it’s bigger and bolder than the original.” Built on Unreal Engine 5, Atomic Heart 2 is coming to PC and consoles. A release window has not been attached to the project yet. Next, the studio revealed it's working on a unique spin-off that's set in the same universe. Dubbed The Cube, it will be a massively multiplayer online RPG shooter experience that has players entering a giant cube structure in the sky for survival. Aside from fighting massive monsters and the cube itself, the unique element comes from how the environment will scramble like a Rubik's cube. This unstable arena will offer players new opportunities without needing to travel large distances in an open world. The Cube does not have a release date attached to it either.
    • Game of Thrones is getting a real-time strategy game on PC: War For Westeros by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A brand-new game is coming out based on George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire universe, and surprisingly, it's a full-fledged real-time strategy game for PC. Titled Game of Thrones: War For Westeros, the new title was revealed at the Summer Game Fest 2025 kickoff show today. Check out the debut trailer below, which features plenty of familiar faces from the television series, as well as fights that many probably wished they saw in the story. It looks like players' actions will have some major deviations from how the storyline actually played out in the series, with major characters dying, switching sides, and having massive wars against each other. Unfortunately, no gameplay was revealed in the trailer. War of Westeros is being developed by PlaySide, which may be familiar to those who have played their previous real-time strategy experience, Age of Darkness: Final Stand. The studio said today that its new project will offer players House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen, or even the Night King's forces as factions they can take the role of in their journey. " Each faction offers deeply asymmetric strategies, with signature heroes, armies, and mechanics forged from the brutal legacy of Westeros," adds the company. Infantry, cavalry, siege engines, giants, and dragons will all be available for deployment during battles, both when attacking other factions and when defending. The title will be playable solo to take over the Seven Kingdoms, as well as in multiplayer, where a free-for-all mode will enable multiple players to lead forces against each other for victory. Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is currently only announced for PC, with a Steam page already available for fans to wishlist. A release date, nor pricing, has not been revealed just yet, with the title slated to launch sometime in 2026.
