Firstly, pardon any probable noobness – I've never worked with such 'advanced' HTML, and not at all with CSS.

The problem: I'm trying to make MySpace look a little prettier (it's unfortunately the communication medium of the teenage ), and I want to add a picture to a stylesheet I already have. But I know nothing about CSS except from the code I have here, which is photoless thus I can't just copy the code like I did to add another table (which felt like such an accomplishment, not knowing any of this stuff by heart ).

HTML:

	<div class="content-b">		<div class="content-interests">			<h2>Interests</h2>			<p>my interests here</p>			<p>some title				<img src="http://usualtypeofHTMLlinkblahblahblah,jpg"> </p>	</div>

Should a <br /> go after "some title" ? That space-slashed break is used similarly in a list elsewhere in the code and so I ask. When I did try using it, I got the two periods where picture 'should' be ; the way it is above gets the blue question mark placeholder. Should there be another <p> ?

CSS:

.content-b h2{	color:2a343d;}.content-b p{	font-size:1.1em;	line-height:1.5;}.content-interests{	float:left;	width:227px;	margin-left:30px;	margin-right:10px;	_margin-left:15px;}

Since I have the HTML link code the way MySpace likes it, I assume that the reason I just get ".." or the blue question mark square is because nothing refers to it in the CSS code ?..

Anyone want to help ?


PS: why have, for example, margin-left:... and _margin-left:... ?

PPS: in case some of you out there aren't above the übersocial MySpace, here's what I'm using if you're interested in deüglifyment: http://www.mys. . .le.

If you're getting a blue question mark it just means that the reference to your image is borked. So check you <img src="blah" /> code.

No. MySpace does not use XHTML, this <br /> should *never* be used. <br> is not needed, however, as <img> is an inline-block element, that is, outside of the element it is treated as a block [In other words, it creates newlines at the beginning and end of the element]

No. The code is fine as is.

No, as the previous poster explained, your link is broken.

Inserting an underscore prior to a CSS element is a common practice used to send certain code to Internet Explorer, and certain code to compliant browsers.

Well, annoying since I've tried that with two (the address to a Flickr and Picasa image) images and got the same result. I'll go upload somewhere else and try it.

Someone didn't know about MySpace and XHTML it seems.

<div class="content-vitals">			<h2>Infos</h2>			<p>Age » <br />			Height » Five <br />			Status » <br />			Hometown » <br />			Orientation » <br />			Here for » <br />			Education » <br />

(But the rest must be X-less, since it all works fine...)
Are they harmful, or just ignored ?

Hm, IE... So if I want my page to show up fine for all of my IE friends (about *all* of my friends sadly), I'll have to edit those things too.... (For the love of Zeus get a Mac ! . .or Safari on Windows.)

It's harmful to the intent of the specification, but it doesn't have a hard, practical impact. Browsers are used to crap code like that which is found on MySpace, thus they can handle <br /> with a declared HTML doctype, but it's still not good practice to use XHTML syntax in an HTML document.

I shall take it out then to be codeally etiquette.

MySpace = crapcode... I like. If only all would see the light.
