border problems can html fix me? - 6/7/2001 20:03:00

I want the content that is not in the 'shared borders' to touch the content that is in the s. borders. Is there anything that I can do in html to fix this.

All of my graphics look weird when there's a white gap on the outside of the borders.

[html]www.tsgcom.com[/html], you'll see what I am talking about.

Thanks,
G. Hoover

Actually the problem isn't with the shared border, but with the margins.

Try putting the following in the body tag of the main page, and see if this helps.

topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"

I don't know about shared borders, but I don't think you'd get the white line with include pages.

A couple of tips:

Your nav buttons are saved as .jpgs and should be saved as .gifs. That's why they look over-compressed.

Be sure to test your site in Netscape. The search box is looking very strange.

Use:

I don't see where you'd want the float left... I assume that was part of the attempt to move the content over?

What Linda said was change your body tag to this: <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">

good stuff I did the margin adjustment and it brought everything in closer to the browser.

But still the main thing for me is the white gap between the left shared border and the graphic on my home page. The gap is on all of the pages.

Thanks ,

oh yeah...

do I have to do the margin edit for ALL of the pages in my web?

Is there a template that I can download or create so that I don't have to do that with any future pages?

Ty,
G.H.

Yes, you have to do that for every page.

Next time you need to make a new page...assuming you have one that is working/looking the way you want...File > Save As > assign a new page name and file name > Save.

That will make an exact copy, not changing the original. All you have to do is change the page content.

Have you tried an include page as opposed to a shared border, yet?

Let's say you want to put your left navigation bar in an include page.

1. Leave a cell on the left side of your table empty where you wish the nav bar to show.

2. On a new page, design just the nav bar. You can put it in a table if you wish, but don't necessarily have to. Make all your links, etc. Save it.

3. On the page with the empty cell, click in the cell > Insert > Component > Include page > browse to find the page > OK.

Include pages are great for any parts of your site that appear repeatedly, such as header, footer, navigation, etc.

When you need to make a change in an area that has an include page, you just make the change in the include page itself, and the changes appear throughout the site.

Okay I get what you are saying with the insert component but you are telling me that to get the gap between the toolbar and the main page content, I have to make an 'include page', insert and redo??

Thanks, Genny

huh? redo?

I see from another post it has been suggested you use tables. When you do this, it would be the perfect time to start using include pages. Assuming you don't use cell spacing, there will be no gap between cells...no white space between your nav bar and the content on the right.

Ok, when I say 'redo', I mean as in having to redo the whole site in tables not cells?

Thanks for all of the advice.
Looking forward to more, lol .
