Topic: front page border.. ? can't figure this out at all (Read 4604 times)

nbody · « **on:** April 07, 2006, 06:24:47 am »

My goal is to change the color and thickness of the 1px border that runs between the background color and the main table edge. I have removed the background color and subbed an image. I have also removed the table color as well. I wish to use the existing border to "break up the space" a bit, and have been able to easily change its width... but not its color. I cannot for the life of me figure out what simple step I am missing here. Can anyone help?

This is the code as it is right now. The thickened border remains black no matter what I try.

Oh, and this is just a barely tweaked "classic" theme.

Code: [Select]

                                        {ADMIN_MENU}
                                        {GALLERY}
                                </td>
                        </tr>
                </table>
                </td>
        </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I have changed border color="#FFFFFF" to everything i can conceive of with no result. Damnit if I am lost here or just tired.

Thanks for any help.
