Border Surronding Body - 12/16/2008 19:32:30
I'm using a template with a css style sheet. I'd like to create a thin black border around the entire body. If I insert the following into the body section of the style sheet will it work? Thanks!
{border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #000000;}

I agree with Dave about trying it :) - but what about the selector?
And you should try shorthand - sometimes it is better:
{border: solid 1px #000}
You will be saving about 40 bytes - not much, but every little bit helps.

I tried inserting the above code and I got a black border around the background surronding my page. How can I exclude the background (I don't know if that is the correct terminology) so that the border is only around the body?
I'm not sure what "selector" means. I searched briefly online but didn't get a clear picture.
Can the short hand code version be mixed with existing code? I tried following the existing format because that's all I'm familiar with.
I agree about trying. I'm just hesitant about experimenting with a site that generates most of my income. I've made some changes in the past and had trouble undoing them. But, I realize that change is necessary in order to remain competitive so I try to make improvements when I can.

All you need to do is create a test page - and upload it. That is the easiest and best way to test without affecting your main site. I bet a lot of us have a lot of "test pages" in our website.
The selector could be the body, so you have
<style type="text/css">
body
{
border: solid 1px #000
}
</style>
Take a look at this example.
