You'll need to place a couple in to create an usual break; <br><br>

<style type="text/css"> .layout {myspace-layout-name: Headphones; myspace-layout-site: url('http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com'); }</style><a href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com" style="z-index:9; width:80px; height:15px; position:absolute; top:5px; left:50%; margin-left:-235px;background-image:url('http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com/images/banners/banner8813.gif');"></a><a href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com" style="z-index:9; width:80px; height:15px; position:absolute; top:5px; left:50%; margin-left:180px;background-image:url('http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com/images/banners/banner8813.gif');"></a><style type="text/css">body{ background-color:FFFFFF; background-image:url('http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/9475/headphones0my.jpg'); background-position:Bottom Left; background-attachment:fixed; background-repeat:no-repeat; } Table, Td{ background-color:transparent; } table table table{ background-color:FFFFFF; border-color:000000; border-style:solid; border-width:4px; } table table table table, table table table td{ border-style:none; } body, div, p, strong, td, .text, .blacktext10, .blacktext12, a.searchlinkSmall, a.searchlinkSmall:link, a.searchlinkSmall:visited{ color:000000; font-size:8pt; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-family:Arial, verdana, arial, sans-serif; } .orangetext15, .lightbluetext8, .whitetext12, .nametext, .btext, .redtext, .redbtext{ color:000000; font-size:14pt; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-family:Georgia, verdana, arial, sans-serif; } a, a:link, a:visited, a.navbar, a.navbar:link, a.navbar:visited, a.man, a.man:link, a.man:visited, a.redlink, a.redlink:visited{ color:000000; font-size:8pt; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-family:Arial, verdana, arial, sans-serif; } a:hover, a:active, a.navbar:hover, a.navbar:active, a.man:hover, a.man:active, a.searchlinkSmall:hover, a.searchlinkSmall:active, a.redlink:hover, a.redlink:hover{ color:000000; font-size:8pt; font-weight:normal; font-style:normal; font-family:Arial, verdana, arial, sans-serif; } p{font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;color:000000} b{font-family:arial;font-size:8pt;color:000000} i, em{font-family:georgia;font-size:8pt;color:000000} U {font-family: arial; font-size:8pt; color:000000; letter-spacing: 0; font-style: border; border-bottom: 1pt dashed; border-bottom-color:000000;}

I've found such can mess with the CSS attributes in IE, which is why I use <br><br> (and Firefox, for that matter).

I got it last week, i think its a really good idea that will be HUGE in the very near future (its already pretty big!), whoever owns the site is going to be minted if he isnt already!

Only have friends that i actually know, some are in uni and my family are in Australia so its a great way to keep in touch!

Dont be ashamed, be smug in the knowledge that all will eventually follow!

Going to start an online Radio Broadcast that i will have a link to from my myspace site, all very handy!

The internet is going to be a bigger and bigger part of our every day lives, a free site that you can post about yourself, your pics even vids that's already established will have a hell of a user base...

Wonder how long before Microsoft or Google buy it!

Would hate to think of teh offer to buy it, got to have a few 0's on the end before the decimal point.

Its certianly a way forward for unsigned bands, not very many A+R at gigs now a days, this delivers them to the office. Alot of my requests for me to go a photograph at gigs come through this.

Microsoft didn't get rich buy paying inflated prices for existing technology. They got rich by copying it and putting their own name on it!

haha, good point!

they do tend to buy up the competion though if its more financially viable than starting from scratch and getting their own team together...

take Bungie for example...

Isn't myspace owned by News Corp, in other words, part of the Murdoch empire? I thought I read something a while back saying that NC purchased myspace (or it's parent, which I think is/was Intermix)

Question

heres my bit of code for 3 pics on my site...

<img src=http://www.ateamshrine.co.uk/gallery/pub12.jpg width="300" hieght="300">

<img src=http://www.jour.sc.edu/pages/wigginsweb/optimus.jpg width="80" width="160">

<img src=http://www.cheezey.org/thundercats/gallery/lionoposesword.JPG width="110" height="80" allign="right">

it wont put the 2 later pics next to eachother though and puts one on top of the other, which looks rubbish!

any ideas?
