there
is a really, really simple way to do a border but naturally, it doesn't work in netscape. So we have to do it that hard, tedious, annoying way instead.
Mine are probably a little more complicated than most, but it helps in the long run, I think.
OK, in Styles.file, add two new variables, right before "1;":
OK, you need to set your $TableWidth to 100% in the control panel too. This means that all your tables will be 100% of the width of the number you just set in Styles.file. Theres a catch though. Once you do all that, ALL your tables on ALL pages will be 100% of the
screen size until you add a border to every one.
Thats the color of your category bar, by the way. I think it would look nice, but that's up to you.
Now I'm going to show you how to add it to....forumdisplay.cgi. After that, you can carry the same principals to any other page you want to apply it on. I chose forumdisplay.cgi because it's the simplest file, thus easy to edit.
find the first instance of this:
insert these things into the table tag, right before ">":
Now, right before the "
Find this about 30-40 lines down:
Add this after it:
Can you see where this is going? Basically, you just want to enclose all the tables within another table row whose background is the border color. At the end, after the last
"
" tag, add:
Those instructions were probably pretty bad, but I hope I helped a little. If you need any minor help, just view the source of my pages, because thats almost exactly how I did mine.
Heres how the basic format should look (not the real code):
Also, I just realized that your topmost table (containing image and such) would probably look pretty bad with a border. I'm sure you can figure that out later though.
