Patrick, don't spend any time on this, I think I've got it sorted. I'm
deleting the images from my ftp. I needed to move the images in 6
pixels from the edge of the window for some reason. Now that I've done
that, they display properly. They aren't exactly in the corners
anymore, but they might look better even discounting the distortion.
For anyone who faces the same issue, here is the relevant code:
[style]
#border_left { position: fixed; left: 0px; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; width:
6px; background: #442200; }
#border_top { position: fixed; left: 0px; top: 0px; right: 0px; height:
6px; background: #442200; }
#border_right { position: fixed; top: 0px; right: 0px; bottom: 0px;
width: 6px; background: #442200; }
#border_bottom { position: fixed; left: 0px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px;
height: 6px; background: #442200; }
#corner_tl { position: fixed; top: 0px; left: 0px; height: 50px; width:
50px; margin: 6px 0px 0px 6px; }
#corner_tr { position: fixed; top: 0px; right: 0px; height: 50px; width:
48px; margin: 6px 2px 0px 2px; }
#corner_bl { position: fixed; bottom: 0px; left: 0px; height: 48px;
width: 50px; margin: 2px 0px 2px 6px; }
#corner_br { position: fixed; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; height: 48px;
width: 48px; margin: 2px; }
img.corner_graphic { height: 44px; width: 44px; }
[body]
<div id="corner_tl"><img class="corner_graphic"
src="images/cc_cg_tl.gif" alt="" /></div>
<div id="corner_tr"><img class="corner_graphic"
src="images/cc_cg_tr.gif" alt="" /></div>
<div id="corner_bl"><img class="corner_graphic"
src="images/cc_cg_bl.gif" alt="" /></div>
<div id="corner_br"><img class="corner_graphic"
src="images/cc_cg_br.gif" alt="" /></div>
Good lord what a pain in the ass that one was. One small window's worth
of code and it ended up sucking up two full days...
Anyway, thanks for trying to help.
