how was the 1 pixel wide border created...?
i was looking at this site which my uncle owns and see the 1 pixel wide border around the site...
anyone know how this is done? looks like cells and tables on cells? in dreamweaver it wont allow me to draw a table on top of a cell? any ideas...this is the site |
That line appears to be part of an image that's why. Looking at the code an also noticing the big round edges in which html can't do on its own. ;)
|
ya i see the curves and knew they were images but the lines at the sides appear to be some code?
also looking at the page in dreamweaver she's put tables on top of cells? how ya do that!!!? thanks |

But no, the lines on the sides are an image cause when I even view the page in Firebird, it seems she messed up and I can see its placed as a background image for that table to display and I can see part of the line underneath the bottom portion after it curves. Regards. |
hmmmm ok. well i know you can put tables in tables and cells in tables but it looks like she's put tables in cells...
when i stretch out the cells on the left and right there isnt an image? maybe i'm getting confused here! also yeah i use Mozilla and i see the lines underneath the curves too... G |

Check out this link: http://www.flyscreenqueen.com/images/fsq_r2_c1.jpg which is the image used for the background of that table, in which you can see at the bottom as she most likely didn't create a height size for the bottom row so its set at the specified height of the bottom image only, etc. |
ok so the code specifies the use of that image the whole way through the document...?
do you know how i can add tables on top of cells in dreamweaver mx? cheers |

Dreamweaver might not let you by default or err, try placing your cursor in the cell, then create the table or hand edit to add it, its that easy most likely. And you have your terminology backwards, its not a table on top of a cell, its a table within a cell. Regards. |
oops! sorry!
cheers |
i would use style sheets. with them you can specify borders for top,right,bottom, left. also, you can specify whether the border is solid, dashed, double, ect.
the easiest way is with a in-line style. example: <td style="border-top:0px;border-right:1px;border-bottom:1px;border-left:1px" align=".... here's one with a 1px red dashed line: <td style="border: dashed thin #f00" align=..... since i wasn't specific with the border style , (top,right...) the border properties apply to all sides. with css you can apply styles to just about any html tag, so whether it's a paragraph, image, div, you can have a lot more control how your page looks. you can learn more about css here. it's really easy and it only takes a little time to learn it. |
cheers, i'll check it out :D

Excuse me if this has been posted, but
Make TableA. Then create TableB inside of TableA. Set TableA to have a border of zero and a cell padding of 1... |
thats great if ya want a border the whole way around........i only wanted the border at the sides.....at the top and bottom would be the image with curved corners
