Hello All,

I was attempting to add some JavaScript to my MySpace profile before learning that MySpace will not allow it. Basically what I want to add is a box of information that will automatically change daily and/or possibly a box that only displays information to certain users (although I'm not sure that one is possible).

Since there is no reasonable way to get around the JavaScript issue, is it possible to create any of this using the scripts MySpace does support (CSS/HTML/DHTML)?

If you could just point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

You can't do it with just HTML or CSS. You need some sort of programming mechanism, either client-side (e.g., JavaScript) or server-side (e.g., CGI, PHP).

If you can't run anything on MySpace, then your only option is to run it somewhere else. You might be able to set up a program on some other system that automatically updates the content on MySpace, or you could just move your whole page to a more feature-rich server.

That's what I was afraid of.

Is it at all possible then to create a form input box in html and when certain words are entered, it could show specific texts on the same page? Or is that not going to happen either?

You could use JavaScript to update the page, or you could submit the form to a server-side (e.g., CGI, PHP) program that processes the data. HTML itself can't "do" anything.

Alright, thanks for your help!
