I took the long way around when I made the box frame for one of my old layouts.

Basically, it was a nine cell table, which several tables nested within.


[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
[ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ]
[ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ]


The header was cells 1 through 4, the footer cells 6 through 9, and the post text cell 5.

Cells 1, 3, 7, and 9 were of fixed height and width, and merely contained img tags for the corner pieces.

Cells 2 and 8 were of fixed height, and had the horizontal parts of my frame as the *background* of the cell.

Cells 4 and six were of fixed width, and had the vertical parts of my frame os the *background* of the cell.

Cell five was variable in all directions.

I probably have a copy of the old code somewhere...

EDIT: I found the old code, there's a direct copy-paste version of it at http://mysite.verizon.net/phannareth/tommy/movanic.html.

And now here's the code without the movanic deva on the side and without the spacer.gif to keep the vertical height at a definite minimum: http://mysite.verizon.net/phannareth/tommy/frame.html

I reckon you could do your layout in CSS and regain some of the charm of your yellow border, but I'm not 100% sure on the rounded edges. There's a little cheat for that about which I'll need to investigate for my own purposes.

Yeah, if you figure that out drop me a pm

I actually like it... The background looks quite nice along with it. Very creative.

This only works on my Mac, and the only reason it works on my Mac is because it uses a 1024 x 768 screen resolution.

My monitor at work has a higher native resolution so the screen is stretched, and then your text floats over in the middle of nowhere, half in your borders, half out.

My monitor at home is widescreen and makes the issue even worse.

You need to make this a stretching layout, or at least code it so that it is fixed in a way that will not break dependent on other people's screen resolution. Tables are a start, and it shouldn't be too hard to do.

And yes, there's no bottom. Even on my Mac.

Also, if the table gets stretched, your text goes out of alignment with the box

I would suggest using tables instead of just a background image. view-> page source, scan through to a layout you'd like to get an idea of how to make, steal code, modify so no-one knows, and you're good ;D
