borders - 11/22/2004 9:31:31   
I Just love the multi border backgrounds, I was messing around with front page and came across, inserting shapes (can't remember the real name, any way after hours of fun playing I decided to try one for my web site, well its looks great in front page but once published its really a mess.

have a look http://www.flowersnfrills.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/myalarmclock.htm


its is not acceptable to use this as backgrounds, I wonder, or are there rules which i don't know about,
any input would be gratful,
Giomanach

Hi Sue

Unfortunatley, the auto shapes feature in FP is a waste of space, the real way to create a border like that is with a table, or use CSS positioned DIV layers, but that's getting a bot complex for FP.

If you could email me the image used for the background, I can make it so you can have the background you want? No charge:)..after all...us UK-ians need to stick together:)

Would be easier for you to email them to me, saving them can be tedious.

I just need the background image and the HTML file, nothing else:)

No worries, get to learn CSS and the like, and you will come to love it, and then you will be able to see how I have done the page for you:)

RE: borders - 11/25/2004 5:42:38   
Thanks for the above links , I got a week off, from work next week and I am going to do some serious studying of it,


2 questions, is it possible to do a table , with another table inside,

I have seen spacers being mentioned time and time again, I understand why they are used, but will you use them with table or inserting shape thing with frontpage.

RE: borders - 11/25/2004 7:33:16   
That's how I did it:)

I created three tables, and gave the body a margin of 4. I added padding to the table cells, and nested the three tables together:

<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Then if you look at the CSS in the <head> section of the template I gave you, you will see padding: 20px; or something close to that....it's all simple really....:)

Nesting tables is very common and easy. It just means a table inside a table - so you create a table click inside it and create another table - thats it - nested table. Very common in many sites to control layout.
