how do i post banner html without banner showing up


how do i post banner html without banner showing up

I need to make an html code available for people to copy and paste into their profiles.  I've already made the banner and hyperlinked it, i just need a scrollbox to post underneath it to show the html. I've seen band pages with banners and code boxes like this, but I cant figure it out.

im no good with html, and i'm sorry if there's already a topic out there about this.

thanks!

Re: how do i post banner html without banner showing up

thats exactly what i meant, but the code for hiding the banner and showing the html didnt work...

this is for a myspace page, if you're wondering

Check out this site and they will generate one for you: http://www.quackit.com/myspace/myspace_code_generators/myspace_scrollbox_generator.cfm

 

but you HAVE to add the code tags <code>...<code> in the box since you want to display a code in the box

 

Re: how do i post banner html without banner showing up

What you need to do is add code tags before and after your text to go in the scrolling box like this

<code>your code here

Here is the code to add a scrolling box

<style type="text/css">
div.myspace-scroll-box {
height:100px;
width:200px;
font:8pt/10pt Verdana;
overflow:scroll;
}
</style>
<div class="myspace-scroll-box">
Enter your scroll box text here... once there's enough text, the box will grow scroll bars!
</div>

 

Here is what it looks like:

 

Enter your scroll box text here... once there's enough text, the box will grow scroll bars!

It's all yours, smartmom...

 

Re: how do i post banner html without banner showing up

Well because I was placing a code in the comment above I couldn't show you a code tag.

Put this at the begining of the code you want in the box and at the end of the code you want in the box

<code>your code goes here</code>

That will allow your code to show with out showing your banner - I hope that made sense...  

 

Re: how do i post banner html without banner showing up

okay, i have a banner. i want the html from the banner to show up instead of the banner so people can copy and paste the code from the banner. when i post the html from the banner inside the scroll box code, the banner shows up in the scroll box. not just the code.

that's my problem.

did that help??

i understand how to make scroll boxes, but i have a problem with the banner showing up instead of just the html.

Could you post or PM the URL so maybe we/I can see what you mean?

You put the code to the banner inside the box so users can copy and paste it. I'm assuming that's what you want.

I have seen scroll boxes that can be seen in Firefox, too. I don't know why this code is just for IE but it's the only scrollbox code we have here.

edit: Google is my friend. Google should be everyone's friend.
