Hey everyone, i've seen some webpages that has a continuous border at the top, the side, the bottom wherever....but it doesn't include the scroll bars...the border just goes until the end of browser...how is that accomplished? I wanted to have my side of my entire webpage to have side borders of pink all the way down. Thanks a lot..Also i'm working with dreamweaver mx
 
make your background pink and add a table at 99% width

this is for the right side only if you want left and right side then align your page center

ok sorry i shoudl've been more specific too..well i created this border in adobe photoshop, and it's a long pink and white strip with different stuff going on in it...how do I make that my side borders??? thanks
 
side borders? you can use css and set the border to align right and tile vertically only


check out my faq faq215-2573

it covers basic css and body background

i'm sorry another question...could you send me the code to accomplish the task of setting the table to 99% width...i did it but it did not work...i'm not sure why. Also, is there a good tutorial website out there that will walk me through this and other processes. Thanks, i really want to learn dreamweaver
 
Also, for some reason i am unable to align my graphic to the very top of the screen. I set my background to a pink color, and then I put an image in a table in the center of the page....for some reason it has like a single line space at the very top. I wanted the area where the image was above and below to be white. Any tips? Thanks


For example

P| WHITE |P
I| image |I
N| |N
K| WHITE |K
 
first off put

LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 RIGHTMARGIN=0

in your body tag if you want the website to be flus in the top left. second is your background an image or a color? because you would use the tabe for the color but css for the image for simplistic sakes.

heres the code for a table at 99%

Code:
<table width=&quot;99%&quot;>
<tr>
<td>here is my table</td>
</tr>
</table>

I did as you said and I put that code (LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 RIGHTMARGIN=0)inbetween the body tags, and it did not work. The code just appeared in the design window...i'm not sure about html syntax so the full html block would be helpful. Thanks
 
Instead of your
Code:
<body> tag use <body LEFTMARGIN=0 TOPMARGIN=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 RIGHTMARGIN=0>
