The Border attribute

are you talking about the thin grey line that runs from top to bottom on the far left edge?

If so, any site that has a dark enough background to see it has it, including your own.

If that is not what you are talking about, give us some more specific details.

**edit

Never mind, I see what you are talking about. It probably isn't intentional. It's because the sections heading and the one under, andover.net heading title are in one table with a grey background and a cellpadding of 1 and the actual menu is in an imbedded table with a white background.

I'm talking about the thin grey (gray?) line on the right side of that area... I think I've seen borders that thin elsewhere too. It might not be a border (that'd be the easiest way I think), it could be something more elaborate... Either way, if anyone knows how, please let me know.

Thanks,

Didn't check the page, but it's possible the webmaster used a 1 pixel table col and just set the background color to gray. I've seen several sites use this.

Ok, I found a few more examples of it, although it doesn't look like a border anymore...Or at least it's not used as a border in these situations, although I still think it could be (ala Slashdot). (How's that for a run-on sentence?)
www.devshed.com www.32bit.com

both of those sites use a NavBar/content/2ndNavBar layout, and they have a thin gray line dividing the content area and the second navigation bar (the right-hand side one). I looked through the code but couldn't find it, so if anyone knows of a way to do this, I'd appreciate it.

It needs to be thinner than 1 pixel, about a half a pixel, just like on those examples... They seem to be using the exact same thing...

Are you sure it's less then a pixel? If your positive have you tried height="0.5"?

Both the site are written by the same people - theye bot copyrighted to ngenuity.com - you could try e-mailing the webmaster and asking them how they do it.

Hi again

After looking through the source code from 32bit.com I found the table cell which codes for the thin line:

<td width=1 bgcolor=#cccc99><img height=1 width=1 src=http://www.32bit.com:8000/pixel.gif></td>

It is actually a 1 pixel cell with a 1x1 pixel white image in it. - but that doesn't really answer your question.

If you wanted a thinner line maybe you could use a JPEG image set at a higher resolution than 72dpi
