Ok see I'm designing a new layout for my new website. But my problem is that I can't seem to get how to make an image border around the whole layout. Also this is in dreamweaver meaning I haven't made it in photoshop and sliced it. Here is an example of what I am trying to do:


Its those thick image borders around the layout. Thats how I want it to be. But I just can't figure out how. I would really appreciate whoever could take the time to read this topic and help me Thanks!

well, its very simple. and its not images, but its alot of nesting. my site borders are a little like that. i'll try to explain it.

where your using divs or tables, the basic principle is the same, i'll use divs as an example.

so, for example, we have a div (or table) with a width of 202 pixels (for example) and a very dark grey background color

then, indside that div we have another div with a width of 200 pixels with a lighter gray. so, heres example code.

<div style="width:202px;padding-top:1px;padding-bottom:1px;background:#444;">
    <div style="width:200px;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;background:#f3f3f3;"></div>
</div>

and thats the basics. i used css in that, but if you using tables or no css, im shure you know how to center elements in other elements, if not just ask again.

so basically, the image you showed me, has, i would say around 5 divs /tables nested within each other and thats including the main white one.

actually, you need a table since the content must be expendable and make an image that can repeat itself.

Hello! I am the maker of that design, and my website that its been on is www.enhancedpixels.com.

I have that design copyrighted and I suggest you keep the logo on there.

This guy has been taking my designs ever since.. last year. He has copied my logos, designs, signatures, avatars.. everything you can think of.

If this doesn't stop sooner or later I'm going to bring it to the courts.

I suggest you stop.

If a admin has all his IP addresses, please PM me them so I can ban him from my site. As for I only have 2.

EDIT:

Oh and I just noticed he copied this design. Check out www.litratech.net or .com. I'm not sure, it might not even be online since all of his sites always go down for some reason.
