HOW DO I MOVE THE TEXT OFF MY BORDERED BACKGROUND?

The best way I've found to code a page for bordered backgrounds is very simple, and can be altered for any size border and text combinations. You will need this clear gif in your directory.

*NOTE* Click on the link for the clear gif. When you get there right click in the upper left hand corner. Your menu should have save picture on it. Remember this is invisible so right click inside the box to save it.

Immediately after your < BODY BACKGROUND code tag place this code:

<TABLE BORDER="0" ALIGN="DEFAULT" WIDTH="600"> <TR> <TD VALIGN="top" WIDTH="120"> <IMG SRC="clear.gif" WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="26"> </TD> <TD ALIGN="LEFT" VALIGN="TOP" WIDTH="480"> <p> Add all the rest of the HTML coding needed for your page. <p>Then right before the </BODY> <!-- Mirrored from www.tbns.net/silverhawk/code2.html by HTTrack Website Copier/3.x [XR&CO'2002], Fri, 29 Nov 2002 01:36:41 GMT --> </HTML> add in this code: </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <p> If it still isn't aligned the way you want, here's what you do:<p> Find this tag in your bordered background HTML: < TD VALIGN="top" WIDTH="120"> <IMG SRC="clear.gif" WIDTH="120" HEIGHT="26"></TD>

The WIDTH="120" (in both places) is what you need to be concerned with. If your text is flowing into your border image, simply increase the 120 until the text is aligned to your liking. (Remember to change BOTH of the two "120"s to the same value). If your text is too far away from the border image, decrease the "120" until the text is exactly where you want it. (Remember to change BOTH the two "120"s).
