I'm working on a page but instead of a solid purple border image I would like to use an image. Does anyone know the right code for this? :) I'm currently using this code:

<body>

<img style="position:absolute; top:20px; left:20px; width:542px;
height:71px" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/kimvanwilligenburg/tyrnunihead.png">


<div style="position:absolute; left:20px; top:100px; width:106px; height:287px; border:21px solid purple; background:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/kimvanwilligenburg/tablebgcolour.png); overflow:auto">

<div style="position:absolute; left:185px; top:100px; width:384px; height:286px; border:21px solid purple; background:url(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/kimvanwilligenburg/tablebgcolour.png); overflow:auto; scrollbar-face-color: #000000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #000000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #000000;
scrollbar-track-color : #000000;">

do you mean you want an image as the border instead of the color?
if so, an image cannot be applied to the border.
you would have to create an area (like a div), put the image as the background, then create a second area inside it but smaller to put your other stuff. kinda like a fake border appearance.

Oh dear, that is going to get very complicated. I'm new to html and css, but I'll give it a try! Thanks for your help.
