Border Around Entire Website

peterb · #1 09-03-2003, 06:47 AM

I want to add a border around my entire Website virtually identical to the Xcart Forum here. I want to add different color to the outside of border together with a seperate color border line.

Any ideas, anyone!!!

Thanks and happy xcarting!!!!!

I think you will need to make the modifications to the rectangle_top.tpl and rectangle_bottom.tpl files

Yes, as well has head.tpl and customer/home.tpl,

You will need to create about 6 border styles in the css. Here is an example of my css file. I have split them up because you can't just stick a border around the head.tpl because it isn't in the home main table so you end up with double lines:

.tabletopleft {
border-top : 1px solid #A5A5A5;
border-left : 1px solid #A5A5A5}

.tabletopright {
border-top : 1px solid #A5A5A5;
border-right : 1px solid #A5A5A5}
}

.tableleft {
border-left : 1px solid #A5A5A5
}

.tableright {
border-right : 1px solid #A5A5A5
}

.tablebotright {
border-bottom : 1px solid #A5A5A5;
border-right : 1px solid #A5A5A5}
}

.tablebotleft {
border-bottom : 1px solid #A5A5A5;
border-left : 1px solid #A5A5A5}
}

.tabletop {
border-right : 1px solid #A5A5A5;
border-left : 1px solid #A5A5A5;
border-top : 1px solid #A5A5A5;}
}

.tablebottom {
border-bottom : 1px solid #A5A5A5;

I have tried both suggestions and still have not achieved what I want to do. Have either of you completed the style and if so could you please give me a step by step guide to the modification.

Thank you,

ok, since I don't know what you tried or what your files look like so I am going to start here with the basic.

skin1/rectangle_top.tpl

Code:

<TABLE align=center border=1 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=99% height=99% bordercolor=#000000>
  <TR>
    <TD valign=top>

skin1/rectangle_bottom.tpl

Code:

</TABLE>
  </TR>
    </TD>

This SHOULD put a 1 pixel black border around EVERYTHING.

Thankyou. That works. How would I add a background color to the outer section of the table?

Thanks

This would be the (e.g) <body bgcolor="#132031". I think you can put this in the style sheet, but check the head file as well.
