Simple Border around image question

Sent by Fiona on 16 June 2007 05:05


Hi Jason,

I am only new to this myself, so maybe if I am on the wrong track, someone 
else will set it straight!
If you only have one image in that header div, or you want all images in 
that div to have the same settings, make your css code the following (adding 
in relevant padding or margins - padding will add space between the image 
and the border, margin will add space outside the border) and just add your 
image to the page as normal,

#header img {
   border: 3px solid #ffffff;
 width: 264px;
 height: 67px;
 }

If you have other images in the same div, but they have different settings, 
then you could give them a separate class ie. #header img .yellow

hope that's right!
Fiona
