Err, can you post your code?

BTW, Vbulletin uses BBcode, not HTML.

Took a look at it for a couple seconds and a few red flags went up.

[b]*. You forgot to close all of your paragraph, bold, and italic tags <p><b><i>. You open them, but forgot to close them:[/b]
YOUR CODE
[html]
<p style="color:red"<I><b>ADD WILL</p>
[/html]
CORRECTED CODE
[html]
<p style="color:red"><I><b>ADD WILL</b></i></p>
[/html]
MY VERSION USING ONLY STYLE ATTRIBUTE
[html]
<p style="color:#FF0000; font-style:italic; font-weight:bold;">ADD WILL</p>
[/html]

[b]2. Your forms action and method are left blank. You need to specify both. The action should be the page you want to submit the data to. Ex: index.php[/b]
YOUR CODE
[html]
<form action="">
[/html]
CORRECTED CODE
[html]
<form action="index.php" method="get">
[/html]
You can use "get" or "post" methods when creating a form. Not a really big difference except "get" variables are visible in the url and post variables are not. I think "get" has a smaller limit of bytes that can be transfered through the url than the "post" method.

[b]*. Your image is not showing up because the path to it changes as soon as you move the html to myspace.com.[/b] It works fine on your local machine because you have the image newhure.jpg sitting in the same folder as the html file you created. If you move that image anywhere else, it will not show up. You can easily change to code to reflect this:

YOUR CODE
[html]
<img border="0" src="newhure*.jpg" width="*00" height="*50">
[/html]

CORRECTED CODE
[html]
<img border="0" src="http://www.myspace.com/where/ever/your/file/is/located/newhure*.jpg" width="*00" height="*50">
[/html]

This should help you get started.

Relative and absolute paths -- can be hard to grasp in the early stages of learning.

Syntax pretty much said it all, so what he said.

drumgodmaggot, if you're just learning the ins and outs of HTML, I wouldn't s***est doing forms, least for now. In order to forms to have any useful purpose, you need to learn another language known as PHP, which, if you haven't learned HTML really well, will be a huge challenge.

Try to learn a good bit more about HTML (tables, titles, etc.) then come back to forms.

oooo ok i knew something was weird about the bold and italics thknx i forgot 2 close them...

i looked at php and it was like crazy hard 2 understand

i hope 2 learn all the languages eventually

i tyhought that a whore code for myspace wouldnt be that hard but i guess i was wrong

so would this revised code work??

:cool:

Close. You did not open your paragraph tag correctly!
THIS IS WRONG
[html]
<p style="color:blue"
[/html]
THIS IS RIGHT
[html]
<p style="color:blue">
[/html]

I know this is probably over your head at this point and might be meaningless but never put spaces in the names or values of form elements. Example:
[html]
<select name="reasons to add">
[/html]

This will make the url very messy because a space will turn into &#*7;20 in the url. This represents the hexadecimal value. Use "friendly" names such as this:
[html]
<select name="reasons_to_add">
[/html]

When you do learn php you will simply grab the variable name in the file index.php
[php]
if(isset($_GET['reasons_to_add'])){ DO THIS }else{ DO THIS }
[/php]

The style attribute should have a semicolon after each statement as well, i.e. "color: blue;".

If he used POST it wouldn't be such a problem, but this is good practise anyway.

mike

a they call it whore codes and whore trains because they get u a lot of frends by posting them.. almost like how a whore has a lot of ********s whorecodes get you a lot of frends on myspace

but yea apperentley myspace wont allow my drop boxes so i took them out...

the only problem i am finding now is that it will italicize and bold words but it wont change the font color its just left black

Due to many XSS vulnerabilities, MySpace had to patch up and/or disable a lot of HTML tags for users. That's probably why your code isn't working.

That's still spam in my opinion.

It must get pretty frustrating to use Myspace when everyone is doing this.
