Border / Table

[T-B0N3]

Hey, I know this is a really stupid question but my html/css skills are so rusty that you might say they're invisible. How can I put the whole page I did, really simple one, in a table .. ? Or to put it another way ... how can I put a border around the whole page ?

table {
	border: thin;
	border-color: Blue;
}

This code well make all tables have a thin blue border. You can change the word table to make other things have a Blue Border.

Say you have

<div id="wrapper">Content Here</div>

And you want it to place a blue border around your content take the same CSS i placed above and change it to this:

#wrapper {
	border: thin;
	border-color: Blue;
}

And that will place a blue border around all your conent that is inside the DIV tags.

May I suggest, however, that you use a DIV with the above CSS applied, rather than a table. Tables slow down page loading time.

Or to put it another way ... how can I put a border around the whole page ?

First, wrap the content in a container (a div element will do) and give it an id attribute value like 'container' or 'wrapper'. It's then a matter of styling it as you see fit.

For example,

#wrapper {
  background: #ffffff;
  color: #000000;
  margin: 1em;
  border: 2px solid #000000;
  padding: 0.5em;
}

<div id="wrapper">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

will create a region with a white background and a moderately thick, solid black border. The margin will keep the border away from the edge of the viewport (assuming the wrapper is a child of the body element), and the padding will keep the contents away from the border.

Hope that helps,
Mike

Me again ... I'm not opening a new thread as the matter is not worth it.

There goes. I have index.html which let's say points to a.html - a.html has it's own sublinks b c and d.html. I want that once you click a.html link on the index, the a window to be automaticly resized to ... 400 by 400 let's say. After the user has chosen wether to go to b c or d, and he clicks the aferent link I want the window size to go back to normal, as b c and d are normal webpages. Therefore I only want a.html to be of a certain size, the rest... normal. Oh and ... I want to keep it in the same window no target=blank. Possible ?
Thanks ahead.

You can try window.resizeTo(400, 400), but a lot of browsers will block it as a security measure.
