web page border

[Curtis Thompson]

hello…

nope – no css needed. all you need is a 9 cell table like this:

———————
| UL  |  TOP  |  UR |
———————
| ML  |  MID  |  MR |
———————
| LL  |  BOT  |  LR |
———————

then put your images around the edge – it might also be more clear if you take that page and make a local copy with the table border on – i did that here:

you can just download the code from that page for your local build – with that table border on you can see a bit more clearly how they did it…

make sense?

Hi Curtis,

Thanks for the quick reply; very kind of you.

For some reason in IE6, I could not save the page you made (file -> Save as) but let me see if I understand what you are saying.

(1) No need for CSS. This is clear.

(2) Make a table and use images for the border (e.g. created in Photoshop)

(3) Use large images corresponding the largest size the table could grow to

(4) If the browser window size is changed the table will grow and shrink accordingly and adjust the portion of the border image displayed?

Regards,
Leor

hello…

to save – just view the source and copy/paste from notepad…that’s the quickest way. and ya – they do the edges that aren’t corners as backgrunds in a table cell – this way they just go on forever as the page gets bigger. so you really only need images for those cells that are as large as they need be to tile in the direction they need to grow…
