moshi v1.1
I call this version "Smallfoot" because it has a smaller footprint (a full kb less!) than v1.0. It is also a little better organized in my opinion. I would recommend this one for anyone taking their first stab at making over their profile.

Sample: moshi profile

Code:

/*
Myspace Open Source Stylesheet Initiative

Version 1.1
Myspace Moshi Smallfoot Skin

Google Projects Page: http://code.google.com/p/moshi/

Author: Tom at klenwell@gmail.com

NOTES

* smaller footprint than v1.0
* paste stylesheet BELOW any other text in your myspace *About Me* section
* do not paste these comments -- start below the dotted line

hi, first kudos for your work on myspace editing developement, i got a problem with the banner part in your stylesheet: it seems it doesn't work for me, i tried with jpg and gif, with two different source servers but it never shows up :(

any trick? myspace.com/paoloalberta

thanks, good job!
Paolo,

Looking at your source code, I don't see the html div for the actual banner. That would explain the problem. Add this to the bottom of your "About Me" section -- *after* the closing style tag -- and see if that solves the problem:

<div class="your_banner"><div class="banner_content">
</div></div>

More info here: banner
I'm trying to use your code to customize my myspace "film" page at www.myspace.com/huntingseasonmovie and I've run into a problem. The Film pages and Music pages have an extra banner (that reads "myspace Film" or "Myspace Music" that seems to create an extra buffer space between the banner and the profile tables(I also had this problem when I attempted to use Mike D and Mike Industries code.). As you can see, the Willie Nelson page has the "Myspace Music" navbar above the custom banner. I have found a way to close the gap but it closes the gap between the navbar and the ad and the gap between the profile table and the navbar (which then hides half the profile behind the custom banner) any thoughts on how to fix this?

(the only changes that I've made to your code are some color changes and I made the space for the custom banner bigger.)
I deleted your code to attempt to repaste it when myspace started acting wonky, like AOL circa 1999. So if you happen to check the page tonight the format will not be customized but if you open a myspace film account and plug your code in you'll see what I mean.

thanks

A quick reply to your question:

I encountered similar problems in developing the moshi stylesheet. Looking at the page as it is now, the problem seems to be that the style settings you want to be applied to your custom banner block alone are also being applied to another block (or table or table cell -- the one right below it?).

Anyway, I think the solution would involve finding a way to isolate the banner block such that your style rule does not also affect the other block. Usually, there is some way to do it -- but it sometimes involves real creativity!

I don't have any experience with the film or music templates and I don't have time at the moment to try to untangle the snarl of myspace html involved. But hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

If you have more specific questions, feel free to message me through my klenwell profile.

Best of luck!
Tom
