i have looked all through topics with 'borders' and nothin has helped...maybe because i dont actually know what im looking for,i would like a border around just some text but i dotn know whether its a table or what!
like this (http://screencaps.foolforlove.net/index2.html) where the menu text is...any help please??

It's a table. You can always view source of people's website. As long as you don't copy their codes it's not a crime :)

the code:

<table width="##" cellpadding=# cellspacing=# border=0 style="border: 1 solid #colour">
<tr><td valign="top">Stuff in here</td></tr></table>

Change the words and # in bold. The # stand for numbers, so you can fill in your own numbers. Also you can change the colour to any colour you like, and you can change solid into dotted, dashed, etc etc.

You can add tons of more stuff to it. Just look at www.lissaexplains.com/table.shtml
