I do not have time to troubleshoot people's code. (Hopefully I will again in the future).
I do not have much time to answer questions (but if it is a quick answer, that only takes me a few minutes, I will try to answer).
I really recommend the following site, for myspace customizing questions: Official Myspace Customizing Forum
That is the most reliable source, and the people I know who enjoy helping, and are quite good at it, tend to hang out there.

mySpace Band Page hide URL blue border remove

mySpace band/artist page URL hide or style



Please refer to the following myspace page to see how the URL space is structured.
This is an actual myspace page, with style code added to show the div, table, cell layering, parent relationships, classes, and other attributes which can be used to manipulate this space.
Band MySpace Page Showing Structure, Layout, Classes
The above page is best viewed in FireFox or Opera. IE does not recognize the border-spacing attribute, making it more difficult to see the layering. You can download FireFox using the link in my SideBar

Using the key to the left of the page, and looking at the URL space we can determine the following:
The actual text is in a div.
We can remove it as follows:
You can put this code at the top of the Bio (or wherever else you are keeping style blocks).
<style>
{!-eliminate text from url space-!}
table table table table div {display:none;}
{!-recover div in friend and comment spaces-!}
table table td.text table table div {display:block;}
</style>
Notice that I had to recover the div elements in my friend and comment spaces, after removing the div elements from my URL space.

What is left, of our URL space, is a think blue border.
We have a few choices for dealing with the URL blue border. It is actually a background color, applied at level:
table table table td
Because we do not have a class assigned, it is not possible to remove this color without effecting other tables.

If you do not mind removing the color from other tables as well, you can do this:
<style>
{!-eliminate blue background from url space-!}
table table table td {background-color:transparent;}
</style>
Personally I do not like the effect this has on the general table and shows table.

I prefer to just hide this url blue border (background) by hiding it under the contact table.
<style>
{!-hide blue url border under contact table-!}
table table table.contactTable {position:relative;
top:0px; margin-bottom:-45px; }
</style>

hide url and blue line border completely

Thank you for posting a simple solution for a very annoying problem. Extra-special props for not slipping any ad banners into your code.

Hi

This code is awesome, how ever it hides all my other divs, is there a way it can be used and to show my masthead and other divs i have set up on the band page ?

Thanks

yes.

However, you have to do this in your other divs

Insure that each div, you add, has a class, maybe give them all a same class

Something like
<div class="myStuff">
stuff here
</div>

If they already have a class, you can use the classname they already have.
Or you can use dual classes

such as

<div class="thisClass myClass">
stuff here
</div>

Then you add style
<style>
div.myClass {display:block; visibility:visible; background-color:whatever;}
</style>

Make sure you explicitly set the style, for each div, you do not want effected

Hi, is it possible to just replace the URL text on the bad page with an image or custom text rather than just getting rid of it?

I tried the code on the page for replacing it with an image but I think that may have been just for personal pages not band pages - well it didn't work anyway. :p

Here's my page http://www.myspace.com/stainlessbandsheffield

Thanks in advance.
