Can anyone give a tip or a fix on how to create a page border for a VSD designed website. I have a gradient background 740x600 px that I would like to put a black or single color border on two sides to create a dropdown shadow effect. Even a page border on all sides would be OK. Would it be possible to add the appropriate CSS in the heading to accomplish this?
Thanks for any ideas

you might either try using the shape tool to make each individual border,
or try and apply this in the head section under the edit header
<style type="text/css">
body
{
border: medium double #808080;
}
</style>

just change color to which you like #808080;---example

Thanks for the suggestions.. I tried the css but it did not work as I wanted. Maybe the shape tool will work..

How did the shape tool workout for you?

The shape tool works fine...a bit laborious and not as automatic as css code would be, especially with multiple pages. But solves the problem..thanks for your help. And the page looks great..

yes it does, and I'm sure you know you can copy and paste to other pages as well. glad to help sorry there really isn't any easier way to do it that i could suggest,
However if you take a look here http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp you can find the right code for you to try im sure (css) good luck.
Oh what I have done was in photoshop is make a vertical border, and saved as an image, then I placed it where I needed to. once

Using photoshop crossed my mind and I will probably do this as a solution. Thanks again for the suggestions.

Tom, I even made (as a test) an image border for text it seems to work good for me also - different shades but it won't hold images but great for text, shortcuts gotta lov'em. lol
