Hassan,
The specific portion of the code I'm having a problem with was
inlcuded on my first post. The code that was not included is just
regular table based border wrapping. I bet most if not all the members
here are of the "been there, done that" experience level, which is why
I didn't bother illustrating it.
I'm going to write an example here for your convenience:
<table id="outer_layout" width="100" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<!-- 1st row begins here -->
<tr>
<td width="10" height="10">
<img src="top_left.gif" width="10" height="10">
</td>
<td width="80" height="10">
<img src="top.gif" width="80" height="10">
</td>
<td width="10" height="10">
<img src="top_right.gif" width="10" height="10">
</td>
</tr>
<!-- 1st row ends here -->
<!-- 2nd row begins here -->
<td width="10" height="80">
<img src="left.gif" width="10" height="80">
</td>
<!-- CONTENT GOES HERE -->
<td width="10" height="80">
<img src="right.gif" width="10" height="80">
</td>
<!-- 2nd row ends here -->
<!-- 3rd row begins here -->
<tr>
<td width="10" height="10">
<img src="bottom_left.gif" width="10" height="10">
</td>
<td width="80" height="10">
<img src="bottom.gif" width="80" height="10">
</td>
<td width="10" height="10">
<img src="bottom_right.gif" width="10" height="10">
</td>
</tr>
<!-- 3rd row ends here -->
The portion commented as "CONTENT GOES HERE" is a placeholder for how
an image needs to be displayed. A simple <img> embedded in a <td> will
work. For another notch, a table element that allows it cells to act
as overlays is possible too. This is the approach I've taken. A rough
example was included on my first post. If you follow the responses to
it, there were suggestions to get most of what I intended it for, done
in CSS, as it was considered standard. So the quote below was meant to
be a response to individuals who knew how.
