isn't it background-color: black (or #000000)?

(nevermind, someone else already answered)

Looks like crap to me. Are other people seeing something besides one big image in the middle of the page with a bunch of empty gray space around it?

link to screenshot of what I'm seeing.
It doesn't even have any of the functionality of myspace, it's one big image.

I like mine better (link to mine.) because, you know, it actually does the stuff that myspace pages are suppsoed to do, like have comments and a friends list and interests and actual text that you can actually select and copy and paste. Also, it doesn't hang there halfway down the page with a giant gray border at the top.

If you reload the page you will notice the Leave comment and view all friends box. For some reason it didnt load.

Nope, still doesn't work. Perhaps you haven't tested this in Firefox?

You should show at least a few of your friends on there. And you have no comments or you dont let them comment? There should be some comments. Also why is your head cut off? That's really annoying. otherwise it looks good. Just a little lifeless and thats not what myspace is about.

I dont know I tried firefox and it was the one that always read things wrong. Even on my own websites that I did the code for. It would center things that werent centered and do other wierd things. Either way it needs to be coded for IE since most people use it.

You can't display friends or comments on the main page using the floating div technique. P.S. covering up the ad at top = you're in trouble... I dunno if they ever actually enforce that though.

Edit: Correction, you can display friends if you code it yourself, just not comments.

So what you're telling me is FireFox is perfect for myspace?

There's room here for a really mean comment but I'm not talented enough to nail it right.
