Forum:Those "div table"- Coded Userboxes and Other Template Queries

Alrighty, I have a coupla dumb questions regarding templates and other coding. For the userpage, I prefer to keep Userboxes all nice and contained within the "Userboxes" feild in the Infobox. However, a number of Userboxes (well, only two) that I wish to use are using the "div table= yadda yadda" code and therefore corrupt the rest of the Infobox template and overall refuse to display. Now, I know the basic Userbox coding enough to mimic most of the "div table" Userbox appearence... except for changing the colour of the text. I tried "font color=[colour code here]" (or whatever) that was used for the "div table" Userboxes, but that doesn't wanna work. Now, I can easily just alter the background colour so that the black text would show, but that would change the appearence of the Userbox, differentiating it from the "div table" Userbox I referred from, which is something I wanna avoid. So, is there a different coding used to change the text colour in the basic Userbox code, if it can be changed at all? Is there a specific opening and closing tag I need to use before the "div table" template in order to get the "div table" Userbox to display properly in the proper Infobox feild? Having Userboxes displayed outside their specific Infobox feild just seems untidy to me. =/

Also, a number of my articles are using the CBTedit template as while they're complete until a specific point, they're currently dependent on the progression of a comic jam that I'm working on for any updated information. For articles that're dependent on the progression of a story, what would be the proper header to use? The CBTedit header template makes the articles seem like they're still in-progress (which they sorta are, but are complete until new information becomes available). If there are no such headers for articles of that nature, then could I make one? And what would be the best way of slapping together a header template? I've looked through the Help, FAQ, and Templates several times for anything that would hint at making header templates, but haven't found anything quite yet. Coding and such has always been a weakness of mine, but I've been working to change that.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 02:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
