Does anyone know whether and how trackers work with div layouts? 


I need to fix my profile layout which is right now a total mess. So I was looking for a replacement premade layout, and fell in love with a particular div layout from an awesome website. But the instructions for installing (is that the right term?) div layouts say that the "about me" section should be empty of all other codes except for part I of the div layout. The second part of the div layout uses the "i'd like to meet" section as well. 

So where would I add the codes for trackers??? In the other profile sections that are not being used?? If so, would I still be able to track visitors? And would adding tracker codes to the unused boxes affect the layout's looks at all???

I'm like 99% new to div layouts (I'm giving myself a 1% knowledge credit for having actually read the installation instructions). So if anyone could help I'd be forever grateful!!

If at all possible, I'd like to avoid having to play around with the div layout too much, 'cause I'm trying to avoid myspace tom's sneaky captcha requirement that sometimes pops up when trying to change stuff in a profile.

Oh, one last thing: I have other things I'd like to include in the div layout that my current terrible profile has: a non-myspace music player, and a little "about me" sorta animated box. Where would I put those???

Thanks for reminding me Pat. I do know a tiny (like 0.0000000000001%) of html, and that's one of the things I knew. 

I'm going to test this div layout soon. I already added my info into the codes...except for the tracker codes. And I need to photoshop a photo of mine to sorta go with the layout colors. Smiling

SleuthWannaBe, I hope it works out Smiling By the way, the other thread where I had 4 dummy accounts has still to work. She hasn't been logging in at all recently to her myspace. Bummer.

Anyway, good luck with the div:)

I made myself a nifty div overlay using a generator from a site (bbz space I think) and it didn't affect 2 of my trackers. Unfortunately, it did stop the PT codes from working so I had to take the div off. Lots of wasted time on that one. Premade divs from a layout site also affected the PT codes from working. If you don't have that tracker or the ones that use the same kind of methods, you should be fine.

All the normal IP trackers work, I think, no matter where the codes are put. So I would move the tracker codes somewhere else and put the div codes where they tell you to, cause divs can be very tricky. My only experience is my own one failed attempt, so I can't really help you much farther than that. My solution was to use hiding codes and delete all unnecessary info to basically create the same kind of "minimalistic" look I was going for in the first place. Sorta my "middle finger" to all the profiles that require insane amounts of scrolling...

I'm not buying that the captcha has anything to do with tracker filtering, but I could be wrong. I haven't done any profile editing since I got what I just described sorted out.

Thanks for the reply Devil. 

So, since you call it "overlay" I am assuming that what you "see" as a profile is only a "cover" of sorts, with the usual boring myspace profile still in the background, though invisible to the naked eye?? That's why the trackers would work even if I didn't add their codes to the sections **within** the div overlay itself? I hope that makes sense.

Unfortunately (and sometimes fortunately, I think), I don't have PT. My trackers are IP ones. So, yay! Sticking out tongue

You've about nailed the overlay definition. If one were to look at your profile with "no style" all the other info is still there. Like I said, I'm no expert and I'm awful at coding, so even getting the one I made using a generator how I wanted it was hard. I created all the links and started hosting the pics I wanted on PB and all that good stuff, just to find out it didn't work in conjunction with my best tracker. I had tested it to see what the trackers would do, but on a unused profile that didn't have PT.

Sorry about your own div layout experience. Sucks to put so much labor into something like that, feel proud about what you created, and then have to take it down (so to speak) because one of your trackers (and the best one at that) wasn't working with it. Sad
