This has given me a little extra hope that this job’ll be done… Eventually.

The ” Billion” was an excellent touch. Bravo.

Happy Holidays.

Excellent!

Thank you!

I’m customizing a myspace for my friend’s band, and I think you may have just made my journey through myspace a little less painful. I read the article through, so now it’s time to dive in and get into the gritty stuff. Let’s hope for success!

YOU ARE TRULY A DESIGN GOD AND HAVE SAVED ME HOURS OF FRUSTRATION AND PINTS OF BLOOD. Sorry, I hate typing in caps but I needed the volume turned up.

Tried adding you on MySpace, but you’re not accepting bands as friends. I know it’s lame, but in music promotions, it is a necessary evil, as you mentioned.

Thanks again, you make me look like teh n00b i iz.

you should be well ashamed, Mike D.

But thank you very much, your sense of humour is a beacon to us all.

I found the same thing on mine. The fix listed at the very top of the page didn’t do it for me.

The fix says to change:
“line-height: 1px” to “line-height: auto”

But I also had to change:
“font-size: 1px” to “font-size: auto”

So try BOTH of those, and see if it helps…

Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting so much time into making sense of CSS that seems to be written by 5 year olds. You have inspired my latest post and I’m currently linking to you in my Blog-roll. I really appreciate your willingness to share your discoveries in hopes of saving others time. I know you have saved me a lot of time. :D

I haven’t chhanged any of my code and Mike’s page is doing the same thing. What the hell gives? How do I fix it? Here is my page:

Please let me know, if you can.

Thanks!

It’s less work and you gain total control by implementing your own divs…
