Adding Tables To A band Profile

Adding Tables To A band Profile
I manage the layout design of an European musician. She does the adding of friends, contacts, reads/answers mail, etc. and I fix the layout the way she wants. Here it is: http://www.myspace.com/maritlarsenofficial There's not much help out there on band profiles so I was wondering if anyone had any codes I could try that would add a table to the left side of her page beneath the "General Info" table. I would like to have a table the same width as the General Info table so I could put a stack of pictures on the left side to even things out. I'm not at all fluent in this and so far I've picked up pieces of code to make it look exactly as she wants (I even surprised her with a banner at the top). I recently learned how to add one of her videos. Thanks! Steve

You bumped at the right time

This code should work for you,

</td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
<table>
<tr><td>

</td></tr></table>
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>

This is the test account I have used it on, so yours should display the same as that.

Place the code after the content in the "influences" box and you should be fine, you need to define the table width to match the general info tab.

But yeah, all should be fine, please post your results.
And if anyone wants to post this code on their website or something, ask me... or I'll reap vengence. Stealing and making money off adsense isn't cool.

Yours faithfully,

Thank You!
It worked!  What I ended up doing was making two tables so that her record label info would appear directly below the Influences table. I stuck a picture in the lower table just to make sure it worked.  I would like to be able to add some space between the added  tables but this will work great.  At least there won't be that blank field on the left side after I add more content to the picture table. Thanks again! Steve

No problem

No problem, always here to help.

But nice idea there, to add space between the tables you can just use come line breaks between them and it'll work nicely.

But yeah I notice now you have a little box below your pictures and general info with nothing in because of the code.

If you want to get rid of it you can do it easily.

If you delete the second table you made with the pictures in, then change the last line of code to

 

<table  width="305"><tr><td  width="296"><table><tr><td> CONTENT CONTENT CONTENT CPONTENT CONTENT

All should work fine, hope this works as well, but you may of wanted that little box. Anyway.

Goodbye for now,

I replaced the last line
as you suggested and also inserted line breaks to add space between the General Interest and newly created picture table.   I decided to keep a small table at the bottom for "fine print" disclaimers. I think I'll never really fully understand the MySpace custom formatting - I mean things like how adding one simple table can throw the whole page off.  It's not your typical HTML.  Well... not MY typical HTML anyway. Thank you very much for your help!

Bumping this to see
if anyone new here has any ideas to add tables to the standard MySpace musician page (see question above).  I will probably want to give it a new look when she releases her next album and I don't want to learn to do an overlay if I don't have to.  Thanks!
