I design web sites in my spare time. One of my clients told me she would like a border on her splash page. I haven't had any experience with that so I came here to check it out. I clicked on page 5 i think it was in HTML Help which said something about borders in the alt tag, but only three of the four showed up. So the purpose of this message is to
a)alert the right people about that minor flaw
b)ask for some help adding borders to a page

Well if it's just a splash page I guess I would use tables or frames. I'm still learning my way around web design but I guess I would use tables. You could break up the border into 4 different pictures. One to go across the top two for the sides and one for the bottom. Then just take away the table borders and cellpadding/spacing on the table cells so that the images don't have any gaps in between them. I'm new to this site so I haven't looked around but Webmonkey has a good section all about tables and table manipulation. Hope that helps a little, good luck.

Change that formerly said tag to <body style="border: 20 ridge #F73100;">. It was missing an important quote that could keep the code from working correctly. :)

Yes, it's called a semi-colon. Heh. And you don't need it for single code CSS... if you're using more than one style than it is wise to use it because other browsers don't comprehend CSS that is coded incorrectly... that is to say, semi-colen (that thing ;) less.
