I'm in class so I can't test these ideas yet. will try as soon as I get home though. the margin border deletion might work. at the time when all those negatives were put into place, I had no wrapper. it'd be interesting to see what the page looks like once I delete the margin with the wrapper. will post pic.

appreciate all the help so far guys. I'm new to this and my search for code is endless.

So one more language to add to my list. Gotcha. Thanks much.

Thats what i happens when i change the padding or the margin.

#update {
	height:273px;
	width:540px;
	margin-top:-9px;
	margin-left: -5px;
    padding-top:30px;
	display:inline-block;
	background:url(images/showcasecontent.jpg);
	background-repeat: no-repeat;
	}

Right now my form is set up not to accept any type of code.(security measure)

I would like it to accept programmed code. kinda like how we use these tags on the form "[code]", "[b]" or "[img]".

These are not codes that would be recognized in a regular html editor, but work just fine on the forum as well as others. I would like this editing method for my forms while im updating my News Feed.

This will enable me to simply post a link, or use [b] to bold something.

I CANT use actual Code because my code blocks actual code and besides that, id rather just not use it. My goal is to make it as simple as possible.

When I edit the top margin of news i get this:

#news {
      margin-top:10px;
      display:inline-block;
      height:273px;
      width:540px;
      }   

As you can see, it pushed the whole width down, instead of just the block im selecting.
