Userlookup coding problem.

[Arielle Gray]

Ok. So. I'm going through a really tough time with the userlookup coding filters. Note my coding is no where near finished at all, but I'm very stubborn when I have a problem. I've tried googling and have looked at every site. I've searched all throughout this forum and still have no solution. Problem is: Invalid words or disallowed property names found in your style tags: position.

 

And here's my code:

 

 

 

<style />

body{background-image:url(url);background-repeat:repeat;}
#main{background:url(url);background-repeat:no-repeat;border:none;}

#header{background:transparent;border:none;}
#template_nav, .user, #nst, #footer, #header a{display:none}
[b]#stats {position:absolute; top:200px; left:140px; width:595px; }[/b]
#content{width:725px;color:#408080;}
.content div a img, .content div b {visibility:hidden;}
.contentModule div a img, .contentModule div b {visibility:visible;}
.contentModule{border:none;background:#D8EAEF;}
.contentModuleTable{border: 2px solid #000000;}
.contentModuleHeader, .contentModuleHeaderAlt {
  font: 2px Serif;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #70A596;
  text-align: center;
  background-color: #AED9C1;
  padding: 3px;
  border-top: 3px solid #000000;
  border-bottom: 2px dotted #000000;
}
</style />

 

I'd be really grateful for any help you guys can provide. I'm totally stumped.

Thanks. :)

Change the opening style tag back to normal, like this: <style>

 

Change the closing style tag to be like this: < /style>

 

That should work. :)

 

If you add any HTML, make sure that closing style tag is always at the bottom of all the coding!

Thanks for your fast reply. ^^

I tried it and unfortunately it didn't work. :/ I still got this message

 

"Invalid words or disallowed property names found in your style tags.

 

position"

Use inline styles :)

 

remove position:absolute from your css (style part of your code), but keep the value.

When you call for that div, ask it to apply the position style ;)

 

<div id="stats" style="position:absolute"></div>

Thanks. ^^ I tested it and I'm not sure if I placed it right. I've tried several different ways with that code and still it doesn't work. :X

 

<div id="Stats" style="position:absolute;">
<style>
//
*{} 
body{background-image:url(http://usera.ImageCave.com/Ariella/Xweeheart.png);background-repeat:repeat;}
#main{background:url(http://usera.ImageCave.com/Ariella/HappyXweeday.png);background-repeat:no-repeat;border:none;}

#header{background:transparent;border:none;}
#template_nav, .user, #nst, #footer, #header a{display:none}

#Stats {top:649px; left:79px; width:248px;}

#content{width:725px;color:#408080;}
.content div a img, .content div b {visibility:hidden;}
.contentModule div a img, .contentModule div b {visibility:visible;}
.contentModule{border:none;background:#D8EAEF;}
.contentModuleTable{border: 2px solid #000000;}
.contentModuleHeader, .contentModuleHeaderAlt {
  font: 2px Serif;
  font-weight: bold;
  color: #70A596;
  text-align: center;
  background-color: #AED9C1;
  padding: 3px;
  border-top: 3px solid #000000;
  border-bottom: 2px dotted #000000;
}

</style>
</div>

 

That's what I currently have. I wish they just left the CSS alone. I know about all the cging and stuff but really they didn't have to make it so complicated. :stitchface:

[Xepha]

It's not working as the filter is still picking it up OR it's not placing elements where you want?

 

Also, you don't need to put anything after <style>. It should go through without it. And I hightly suggest that you put your CSS before your HTML. It's a coding convention.

[Arielle Gray]

As in it won't position them correctly, but it did go through the filter. I typically put my html after my css, I was just moving it around a bit to make sure it wasn't a problem. :)

I appreciate all of your help by the way. ^^

[Xepha]

Well I'll have to try your code when I come back tonight then.

 

My userlookups are generally centered and I use margin to position stuff.

[Arielle Gray]

Thanks. ^^

I may have to just start over completely for my 3rd try. The filter is driving me crazy. I've been using the same css since I was 12 and to have to just change 6 years later is like, a pain. :P

[Sapphy the Swamp Witch]

Strange, the method I posted worked perfectly for me. o_O Sorry I wasn't much help!

#template_nav, .user, #nst, #footer, #header a{display:none}


#content{margin-top:649px; margin-left:79px; width:725px;color:#408080;}
.content div a img, .content div b {visibility:hidden;}
.contentModule div a img, .contentModule div b {visibility:visible;}
.contentModule{border:none;background:#D8EAEF;}

  border-bottom: 2px dotted #000000;
}

</style>

 

 

I removed your #Stats as it doesn't control anything on Neopets and added a margin-top and margin-left to #Content. The stats box have moved down where you wanted, I think.

[Arielle Gray]

That worked! :D

Thank you very much for all of your time.
