Glitchy82 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Good title huh? Anyway, can someone explain to me how I should put a border between my navbar and my text? I'm not going to provide an image, but let's just say the text on the left menu nav is really close to the main body, and I can't figure out how to separate them. I tried using tables, but I can't figure out how to get them to work, and they're really confusing. Can anyone help? Edit-Read my post below.

Crazy Man Dan Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 It sounds like you want padding, a block of white space between the side wall and the content. This also can be done with CSS, or with a nested table, either way.

Glitchy82 Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 Wow, I never realized it was that easy. Now I feel dumb. Anyway, while I'm here, can someone explain to me how to assign a background image to a menu in css? Quote Visit these >> [Blog|Site|Wiki] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lionhearted Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 background-image:url(whereisyourpicture.gif); You'll probably want something more like whether or not it repeats, and where it's positioned. W3schools is awesome for learning stuff like that. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries...I'm trying to design a new one just because I can...the really old one is at http://users.sbuniv.edu/~491019 but it's really bad 'cause it was a few years ago. If you need examples you're free to look at or use the html/css stuff...it's table-free. Quote My Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enormator Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I learned from de.selfhtml.org (German) because I'm German and so it's much easier for me. Quote :Link: website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
