 Okay, let me show you something to help you understand. You see the gold part in that framework you used around the kitty picture? To the left, THIS is what it looks like by itself as a GRAPHIC, not as a background. When you use BACKGROUND="http://rest of url/picture.jpg" inside the TABLE command, it does the framing around the picture. That's what the others are doing. Below, this is what the same graphic looks like inside a table command. I made the table width much wider than the strip you see above, but it "tiles" itself across the width I specified.(for this I specified: width=450 inside the table command as well)It also keeps repeating itself for the whole *length* of your table - as long as you keep adding text or pics, it will keep filling the whole space. It is with "tables" that everyone is making "frames" and "borders".
To put that mitered corner 2-color, shaded border around the gold, I need to add - all inside the table command, and right after the background="http:// stuff - border=10 or any number higher or lower. It would look like this:
Each new set of table commands you add, stacks them on top, so that this gold one actually becomes the bottom one, and the last one you type is the top one. The way *we* do it for the Finest Opening Posts is: the LAST one that you type 'sets' the size of the whole thing. You make those frames/borders around the last/top/main show up by adding cellpadding= any number goes here - as with *border* widths, the higher the number, the wider the band of color or pattern will be. Too much to process? It's not easy to understand until you've done them over and over and over, I'll agree with that. :) |
