Hi All

I wonder if somebody could assist me. I am trying to add a left and right page border to all my pages. I am using the dropdown_menu template and I want to a border to all pages 60 pix wide and 100 % high sothat it streches and shrinks to match all hights.

The type of thing I am looking at is:

Its starts with color #ff,99,00 and fades out to white. Can anybody offer any advice on this. I am guessing it will be done in the style somewhere.

Cheers

Just make an image 1 pixel high of the exact thing you want, exactly as wide as you need it. Then, set that image as the background of the body in the CSS. That will stretch all the way down the page. Have a look at:

That's all I did for the left side fade.

Fine. Make the image 60 pixels wide, with the fade on both sides, and have that as the background image. If you have the fade on one side of the page just fine, it's just a matter of creating your image correctly, right? Make it as wide as you want your pages to be; put the fade on both sides of the images as you wish; set it as the background of the body. The only reason my fade was only on one side is because that's the image on that page. Look at the listingview pages on nhprops.com and you'll see that I have something on the right hand side and something on the left hand side. Just create the correct image.
