Border around content.....

I have an issue with the border around the blocks. How would one go about customizing this attribute properly? The border that I am talking about is the one that houses the legend title. I would like to add some sort of image aroudn it, but Im not sure of how everyone else does it. Any suggestions on doing this?

Hi talunceford,
It's not possible to have borders, in the CSS sense, with images. Do you mean a background image/bullet for block titles?

If what you want is to have an image actually going around the title (table cell, div), you'll need to use a trick to create pseudo-borders (table cells, outer divs, etc.).

Im not sure if that is what I am after or not. There is a post in the forums titled Tech Themes I believe. Check out the template for the site mention in that post. The border that I am referring to is the images around the content, and the left and right blocks. They don't use single thin lines. I think what you are referring to is what I am wanting. I have an idea as to how to get it to that point, but I am wanting to see what everyone elses thoughts are to make sure that I am on the right track.

Is there any where I can read about the pseudo-borders you are referring to?

Usually people will create pseudo-borders with tables, like in this case (probably what you want). You can also have them by nesting tables or divs. I guess it's possible to create non-nested image borders using divs, but I've never seen them.

After some research: yes, you can use CSS and divs to achieve that

Much more elegant than tables, much more likely to trigger rendering bugs too
