Add a border round a template?

[Watson]

I have a custom html page, and I am looking to add a border round it, and have it as my forum table colours, so when I look at the custom page its not just my background thats there behind the text. Any chance anyone could help me in doing this.

here is what I got in the template already (this is just me testing stuff out by the way, incase the code is messy)

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
	background-color: #000000;
}
-->
</style></head>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!-- 
a:link, a:visited, a:active {text-decoration:none} 
-->
</STYLE> 
<table border="0">
<tr><td>
<img src="http://www.bootleg.org.uk/images/beatles_sml.jpg" width="160" height="120"></p>
</td>
<td><span class="style2">Charlatans <br>
Bootlegs</span></td>
</table>
<p><a href="http://www.bootleg.org.uk/index.php?page=audiocharlatans" class="style2"><font color="ffffff">1999-11-24 The Nymble, Stockholm</font></a>

Cheers

I dont actually mean any border, I mean my alternating table colour, so its the same as the rest of the forums, and will also change if I change the style of it

[Brian]

tborder is the table border class and alt1 & atl2 are the alternating classes.

[robert_2004]

for alternating colours used by the overall forum CSS, you do
class='alt1' or 'alt2'

just rip apart the templates on the original forum pages that you like, and find which class they use on their <table class=''> OR <tr class=''> OR <td class=''>

hope that helps.

[Watson]

could anyone paste the whole code for me please

[robert_2004]

if you want for row
<tr class="row1">

if you want for column cell
<td class="row1">

if you want for whole column, you'll have to go to each <td> and change to ^ the one above.

if you want it working dynamically, so it depends if you have 1 row, or 1000 rows, then you'll need to run some tricky php coding, along the lines of

<?php

foreach($i; $=1; $=1000)
{
then you need to connect to db, or use existing function. it's quite hard, and i have to go out now :| - so i can't write it.

}
?>

How would I do it if I wansnt using tables?

Cause some of my html pages aint got Tables in them, its just some text, and I would still like the border round them.

[Brian]

You would need to add a table around the text.

[Watson]

can you do tables inside tables then?

[Brian]

Yes.
