Bordered Background Tutorial

Have you ever gotten frustrated because you couldn't get your text to work right with a bordered background? Well, fret no more! Here is a short tutorial on how to get it to work. You'll also find the vspacer.gif here. You'll need to download this to have your bordered background aligned correctly. Also, both Netscape and Interent Explorer will view the bordered background correctly. You can download it now : Download the Vspacer.zip. Just unzip this, and upload the vspacer.gif to your site. Then use the code below. Of course you'll need to change the title to yours, name your background, and put in what colors you'll be using, and the contents of your site.


<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Title Of Your Page </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<bgcolor="#333333" text="#FFFFFF" link="#000000" vlink="#FFFFCC" alink="#005500" background="nameofyourbackground.jpg">
<table>
<tr><td valign=left align=top><img src="vspacer.gif" border=0 height=1 width=125></td><td valign=left align=top width=100%>

<!--YOUR PAGE CONTENTS GO HERE!-->

</td></tr></table>
</BODY></HTML>


Notice the width attribute above; it states width=125. This has to be adjusted according to the width of the bordered background you are using. If the border is wide, you might have to adjust the width to 130 to 140. Just play around with these numbers on the width and you'll have your text aligned up correctly each time!
