MYSPACE QUESTION

How to put a scroll box into the About Me section in Myspace 2.0? What is the code for a scroll box in the Interests section or About me in Profile 2.0?

MYSPACE ANSWER

To put a scroll box into Myspace 2.0 in the About Me section or the Interests section, follow the directions below:

Add the following code to your About Me section and/or Interests section (depending on which one you want the scroll box to be in):

<p class="scrollbox"> Put your text here inside this scroll box for 2.0. </p>

After you paste the above code into the About Me and/or Interests tables, replace the text with your own text and/or pictures you want to be inside the scroll box and save your changes.

Then add the following code into the CSS box. To find the CSS box, go to PROFILE in the top menu on myspace. Click on CUSTOMIZE PROFILE in the drop down menu and then click on CSS. Then paste the following code into the CSS box and hit preview. To see the scroll box actually scroll you need to publish your changes and then you can preview the scroll. If you make the height too tall it won't scroll until you have enough text in it to force it to scroll.

div.blurbsModule p.scrollbox {overflow:auto; height: 100px; width: 300px; border-width: 2px; border-color:#000000; border-style:solid; background-color: transparent;} div.interestsModule p.scrollbox {overflow:auto; height:100px; width: 300px; border-width: 2px; border-color: #000000; border-style: solid; background-color: transparent;}

To set the scroll box background color change background-color: transparent to background-color: black; or background-color: #000000; or whatever color you want it to be. If you want the scroll box to be taller or shorter, just replace the height: 100px with height you want. If you want to change the width, just replace the width: 300px; with the width you want. Adjust the border width(1px, 2px, 3px, etc.), adjust the border color, and adjust the border-style (solid, dashed, dotted, ridge, double). If you want no border around the scroll box just remove this section in the above code - border-width: 2px; border-color:000000; border-style:solid

If you want to replace the entire Blurbs table section in 2.0 with a scroll box, you can follow the same directions to put a scroll box in the About Me section (above) and then turn off the Blurbs text header, turn off the About Me text header and turn off the Who I'd like to meet section. Then set the width and height of the scroll box so that it fits with the other tables in your profile and the blurbs section will now be a scroll box.
