Hmm, it could be. Maybe the aspect ratios of our screens are different? It’s a mystery :sweat_smile:

The values I use are adjustable, so if you make your browser window larger or smaller the dimensions would adjust accordingly. I only got it to touch the edge when I really shrunk my browser window.

How do I get the watermark and table of contents to come out of the main big box? I have the closing attributes for all styles, but still, my boxes are just making separate boxes inside of the main one, and I cannot figure out how to get it to add more boxes!

I don’t quite understand what you mean :sweat_smile: Could you show me how it looks like?

I can’t get the extra stuff to form another separate box at the bottom or for my watermark to come out of the scrollbox…
I want to add a table of contents, but separately, not in the scrollbox, but that’s not working…

hmm, send me the raw code please? it’s easier to see what went wrong

[feel free to inspect if it makes it easier to comb though… And ignore the webkit-scrollbar attribute. It didn’t quite work…]

Mind if I step in? :sweat_smile:

First things first, don’t use different coding languages, alignment and styling goes whack. Try to stick to pure HTML+CSS or BBCode. You can use a different line of code for it and close it for that specific part. Example:

<span style="properties"><span style="properties">yada</span></span>

Second would be not to space out your code. Use the <br> attribute, otherwise, once again, everything goes whack.

Third is that scrollbars can’t be customised here, so the -webkit-scrollbar code won’t work

Fourth (and I’m not sure if this really effects your the product of your code but out of curiosity) why do you add a space before your semicolon? Like so:
code: yada ; and not code: yada; or code:yada;

Just a heads-up. It looks like this on my phone :sweat_smile:

Absolutely not! Welcome to the discussion!

Ah okay!

Hm okay

Yeah, I figured that. I just didn’t get to removing it again lol.

It just makes it easier to comb through for myself, so I just space things out :woman_shrugging:

OOH thanks for that! I didn’t exactly want it to be like this, but thanks! I didn’t make the images and text separate because I have like three images for each dress lol. I do wanna know how you got the watermark to come out of the main code… I’m going to spend some time beautifying it this weekend, hopefully, and I want to add a table of contents then…

try the stuff I suggested and let me know if it still doesn’t work then
especially for the semicolons, place them directly after the style and add a space after if you want — i know i said i’m not sure if that directly affects your code since I didn’t deep-dive, but it’s a good practice, and as a safeguard. :slight_smile:

Oof, last post was a few months ago XD

I’ve coded a new personal thread that’s basically a diary of one of my characters. I made the first post a slide show. Hope it looks nice, especially on mobile. Took me a while to code it.

Just testing text that’s invisible to light-mode users only as well as text that’s invisible to dark-mode users only.

All right, this should be invisible if you use light mode. Can you read what’s below this paragraph? It should be invisible to you (unless you highlight it, I guess).

This should be invisible in dark mode. For you, the key is within your reach. Hmmm. Have you gone hunting for pianos?

If anyone’s wondering, the color to make dark-mode-invisible text is #3f3f3f
