Hi mumford:

Top and bottom borders?

<style type="text/css">
.tb {
background: #fffffd;
color: black;
width: 100px;
height: 250px;
border-top: 1px solid #0011dd;
border-bottom: 1px solid #0011dd;
}
</style>

<div class="tb">
</div>

:)

Hmm. You could do it with images, or you could go some code bloat. Its not really CSS - it's done with tables and CSS to format their backgrounds and borders.


<html>
<head>
<title>mumfords border!</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.empty { font-size: 4pt; }
.corner { width: 10px; height: 10px; background-color: #0000FF; font-size: 4pt; }
.topedge { border-bottom: 1px solid #000000; font-size: 4pt; }
.bottomedge { border-top: 1px solid #000000; font-size: 4pt; }
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td class="corner">&nbsp;</td><td class="corner topedge">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="topedge">&nbsp;</td><td class="corner topedge">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="corner">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td class="corner">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="empty">&nbsp;</td><td class="empty">&nbsp;</td><td class="empty">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="corner">&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td class="empty">&nbsp;</td><td class="empty">&nbsp;</td>
<td>
<p>Is this the effect you are looking for?
<p>It's made with tables, and is fairly heavy on the HTML.
<p>But, it does look exactly like what you asked for :)
</td>
<td class="empty">&nbsp;</td><td class="empty">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr><td class="corner">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="empty">&nbsp;</td><td class="empty">&nbsp;</td><td class="empty">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="corner">&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td class="corner">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="corner bottomedge">&nbsp;</td><td class="bottomedge">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="corner bottomedge">&nbsp;</td><td class="corner">&nbsp;</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

INTELLIGENCE@WORK?

Dear editors,
since you seem to edit the user entries by hand, you
also have the chance to distinguish URLs that are
needed for understanding an entry from URLs that are
"spam". The above entry by mumford is simply not
understandable without the URL, nonetheless I'd like
to understand what he means.

I mean, plEAse! I could understand following your rules by
the letter if you deleted URLs automatically, but since
obviously someone looks at them and you still delete the
useful ones, these are merely children's games IMO. This is
really annoying.

Hi frank_stahl

Whilst I concede that what you're saying can be a minor irk, it is not for us to question what has been policy for many years. There are good reasons for this policy here and besides, you get used to them and it is quite refreshing in a way.

Actually, it's in keeping with the terms of service all members have elected to abide with through signing up and agreeing to the said terms.

With questions such as that asked by mumford the edit would have been avoided, had a description of the desired effect been given in the post, rather than dropping what could be perceived as a promotional link - regardless of whether this was the case or not.
