What attributes should I use to have a border around a layout fit snug around that layout
Width=100% ?

[froomzer]

Huh?

[optomeb]

Got a layout, want to put a border around the layout
Follow me ?
So I figured id use a table and stylize that table

[froomzer]

Are you talking about the default margin/padding on the body/html elements
Well that would be silly

[optomeb]

Yes

[froomzer]

Html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; }
You shouldn't use a table for anything other than tabular data

[optomeb]

Well then how do you suggest I add a border around a layout

[froomzer]

Html { border: 1px solid #000; } ?
I'm not sure what you mean

[optomeb]

Take for example osCommerce
Ever work with imt ?

[froomzer]

You could also put it around the most closely related element...

[optomeb]

You know how it leaves spaces open and shit? I just want to close all that off, put a border around the layout
A border around the header/footer
And left and right sides
Get it now ?

[froomzer]

So add a frickin' border to that element

[Klimapol]

#wrapper { border: 1px solid black; }

[froomzer]

Border: 1px solid #color

[optomeb]

It wouldnt come out right if i added borders to the specific elements

[froomzer]

You can add it to whatever you want
That's what css is really good at

[Klimapol]

optomeb: you dont have a wrapper element that contains your header/footer/content etc?

[optomeb]

Klimapol : im using osC, so im pretty sure not

[froomzer]

Look at your rendered result... pick the element that you want to add the border to

[optomeb]

Yes, but then it would border the entire element instead of the the 4 sides I need bordered

[Klimapol]

optomeb: you can use border-width: to disable the border on some edges

[optomeb]

Klimapol : that would be a mess, there is a tag to contain header/content/footer , and then just add a border to that tag ?

[froomzer]

Boxes only have 4 sides

[optomeb]

Well my images are also set to bg

[Klimapol]

optomeb: do you havea link?
