White Border

[Joe.Morgan]

Ok i have created a basic css page redy to put the content in and i want a white border round it all (1px including the page container to make it 2px everywhere)

only way i know how to do it is....

<div id="logo"><div style="border: 2px white solid;">text</div></div>

but this just puts a white border round the text.. when i have an image thats the right size of the div it wont really matter but for stuff like navigation and text it wont look right..

is there an easier way to have a white border round all the divs?

put the border detail in an external style sheet then <p> the text

You may have something like a container div for placing all the other divs. Change your CSS file, and add the border to the proper container div.

Another thing, don't use DIVs as if they were font tags. That defeats the purpose of the CSS, which is to separate layout into a separate CSS file.

ah yes magic - makes things a little weird with the spacing

ill post up soon what im working on ;)

Yes put the border on the container div or wrapper.... depending on how your developing the site...

Tableless? Is your background in your css? Float the whole thing in a wrapper allow border to expand.
