Your site?

Example of waht you want, cause I cant really understand what you want.

i need to have a small text box, then when i add text and pictures, it expands right, and down

[Phazon Eater]

Really easy. Just set the images that make up the left border, body, right border, top border and bottom border to td background with the width blank if horizontal and the height blank if vertical. The body shouldn't have either set. Make sure you make a seperate image for each of the four corner pieces and leave it in img src form.

set height and width too 100% or set no height and width

[Phazon Eater]

100% expands them to the browser's width. Leaving it blank expands them based on the content inside them.

can anyone tell me how to fix it plz?

[Phazon Eater]

Ah, you didn't follow my instructions. Read them again. All the images have to be a td background except for the four corners.

[Phazon Eater]

Why don't you just upload the box somewhere (psd or jpg of the full thing they way it should look), then post it here? I'll slice and code it for you.

<table id="box" width="500" height="100" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
	<tr>
  <td><img src="images/top_left.gif" width="2" height="2"></td>
  <td background="images/top.gif" height="2"></td>
  <td><img src="images/top_right.gif" width="2" height="2"></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
  <td background="images/left.gif" width="2"></td>
  <td background="images/body.gif">All text should go here.</td>
  <td background="images/right.gif" width="2"></td>
	</tr>
	<tr>
  <td><img src="images/bottom_left.gif" width="2" height="2"></td>
  <td background="images/bottom.gif"height="2"></td>
  <td><img src="images/bottom_right.gif" width="2" height="2"></td>
	</tr>
</table>

This is how the table with the box would look. I've renamed the images to make it easier to understand. It will only expand if you use more than space already available.

ok thx much, ill post if i get it or not

edit: how do i go about adding this to index.html since im using iframes, heres the code i have for iframes.

<TD COLSPAN=4 rowspan=17 background:"images/main.gif"> <iframe src="main.php" name="iframe" scrolling=auto width=618 height=468 frameborder=0><font color="#000000">Error: Not Compatible with Iframes!</font></iframe></TD>

do i have to reslice the layout?

edit #2: ok i figured out the iframes part, but now the layout is messed up a bit, some of the lines are moved over, im getting some holes also and only half of the text box shows up
