Getting a border around my site

itchyfeet · June 19, 2005

I would like a border around my entire page, like on the brilliant site:

http://digitaldaze.smugmug.com/

(i saw this on the co-branding thread).

Could someone please tell me the code? Also, as in with the digitaldaze website, how do i have different colours for inside and outside the border.

How would I need to amend the code if I just wanted the border around the main section (i.e. not the header or footer to be included).

Thanks guys!

Hi

First off, thank you so much for the nice complement!

Since most of what I do is by mistake, <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/emoji/Laughing.gif" border="0" alt="" >, let me see if I can help. This is the code at the very top of my header html in the customize section:

<center><table width="700" border="2" border color="#A7733C">
<tr>

The border number can be more or less, depending on the size you want. I'm using a background image on my page, thus, the different color outside the border. I defined my background color inside the border in my banner, which I created as a table.

As I said, everything I do is by trial and error, and occasionally, it works out for me ... hehe. Let me know if I can answer anything else. I'll do my best!

I learned this from brilliant photon....

In your header put the start of a table and make certain definitions about it (size, position, background, whatever).

In your footer, close that table.

So your header could be

<table style=&quot;border:2px dotted red&quot;>
   <tr>
    <td>
    
    ....all the other stuff in your header...

And at the end of your footer

... your current footer stuff...
    
    </td>
   </tr>
  </table>

I like to use styles rather than the old depreciated formatting...
