Er...Halp?
I'm pretty sure I read something here that certain kinds of coding just doesn't work in the userinfo regardless if you're using LiveJournal or InsaneJournal. Apparently I forgot that because I learned the hard way that this does not look like this as it should. If it's possible, I'd like to keep as much of the original coding as intact as I can, but if I can't, I can't. Below is the code for anyone to look at and, if possible, make suggestions on how I can fix it.



My apologies for the massive chunk of code, but the < br /> and returns would obviously stack up and mess everything up. :) Any help, whether it's just a point in the right direction or any suggestions/ideas, is massively appreciated.

P.S. I didn't know how to tag this. Sorry. :c

CSS and the style property don't work in the Userinfo. So instead of:



You would put:



It's a pain, but basically you'll have to find the HTML equivalent of the style tags you want to use. :/

Ah, ok! Thank you so much. I was hesitant to go through the code again without first knowing which parts would need to be changed.

Basically what was just said.

My best recommendation would be to screencap the page as it looks normally, and then turn the complex css styled text that doesn't work in the user info into graphics. Because it'll be a lot easier to get the tables to line up with HTML and then dropping the img links in than it will be finding working HTML equivalents of the text styles.

Also, the code fully works in an entry, so if you need to change the headers and such in order to get them graphic'd properly, just put the code into an entry, change them to whatever you need, and then screencap.

Pretty much what was said above, but I was in one of those 'I feel like poking at html' moods anyway, so I fixed it up for you.

This should fix the problems. It's as close as you can get (as far as I know) within a profile and tested well on both IJ and LJ. Let me know if you'd like me to delete the page/code after you've got it set up and I will. :)

Also, you might want to find and replace http://i.imgur.com/K3zwY.png after rehosting on your own account. I'm prone to random bouts of deleting images I don't use, and I might forget that's there for a purpose.

It was so worth it to earn a Dean .gif! ♥ You're welcome!

Let me know if you're still having troubles, though, and slide a screenshot over my way. I'll pick my brain to see if I can help.

Isn't that how it always goes? Tineye didn't find any matches with more Dean (or even just Supernatural in general) .gifs, else I'd reunite you with the set... after staring for a while, of course. xD

Hahaha, always. Murphy's Law and all that. That would be awesome if I could find them again! XD

This is kind of random, and you may already have the link, but I was poking around for some more Dean .gifs tonight and came across this tag full of 'em. Lots of duplicates, but still... Figured I'd drop a link your way, since I remembered our conversation. :)

I copy/pasted the code into LJ's Bio/profile box and noticed that the three column headers seem to repeat the header background image. It's strange because it looks perfectly fine as it on IJ, lol. I didn't have time this morning to look at it further, but I'll be able to get to it later this evening.

It's supposed to repeat horizontally, but there's no real way (that I know of) to stop it from repeating vertically without using a style attribute. Is that what you mean? If so you may need to toy with the font sizes inside the column headers; it might be spilling over due to browser font size settings.

Or did you already figure out how to fix it? I ask because I looked at your LJ profile and it looks just like the example on my end, but I have an outdated version of Firefox so it might not be able to see what's wrong (if there's still something wrong).

...I see an issue because...I use Chrome (mostly) and did not think to take a look at it in Firefox. *facepalm* It looks perfect if Firefox, of course. ;P

Oh, yikes. Browser differences: the scourge of the internet. I don't have Chrome, so I didn't even think to see if it worked there. Sorry it's not as accurate outside Firefox! I wonder what in the world LJ does differently than IJ to make it break...

It is the scourge of the Internet! XD And I haven't the faintest idea what LJ does that makes the code break, especially since the code is supposed to open source. You'd think it'd be the same across the board for all the journal sites that are like LJ, but idk *shrugs* I guess they aren't all alike in terms of code.

Now that I think about it, my guess is some of the massive UI changes livejournal made recently could be to blame. I'm pretty sure IJ still runs on an older version, or at least it looks like it does. Or Chrome is having a teenage rebellion issue where it just has to be ~different~. xD

XD I think you're right on all of it. That Chrome, it has to march to the beat of it's own drum. :P
