Shared borders problem

[gurnerworld]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with shared borders which I'm sure
has a simple solution, but I can't work it out.

I have shared borders on all four sides of my pages and
am trying to control the position of the right hand
border. I've used tables to control the width of the top
and bottom shared borders, along with the body of each
page.

My site is designed for an 800 x 600 browser, however
when I increase the size of the browser, the right shared
border seems to attach itself to the right hand side of
the window and moves away from the rest of the content.

It looks daft and I need to stop it doing it - can anyone
help??

Thanks in advance.

Gurnerworld.

One option that might work for you:

1. Once you've created your border files (as you have
done), turn off the right border in your pages. You can
right click the pages or take the "r" out of the borders
meta tag in the html (where it has "tbrl" or similar).

2. Enclose your page content in a fixed-width table with
a right column the same width of your right border content.

3. Use the FP include to include the file
_borders/right.htm into that right column.

Our corporate office insists on a page width of 760 pixels
and a fixed-width left navigation column, so we're doing
something similar to the above with our shared left
border. Rather than letting FP place the border, we
include the _borders/left.htm file into the left column of
a fixed-width table. Works a treat, although this method
does add a little work.

Make the content of your right shared border a left aligned fixed width table
- your main page should be a center aligned table
- you left shared border could be a right aligned fixed width table
