Banner ad borders/"picture frames" - How are they created?
I've noticed on many sites the banner ads are surrounded by a border graphic. That is, the banner add appears with in some sort of outline or "picture frame" graphic.
How is such a "picture frame" border created?
How is the HTML coded to put the banner ad inside the border?
Thanks.

I am not sure what kinda border you mean. Could you maybe provide a url to an example? I suspect what you see is the border of a table...I may be mistaken though.
<table border=[pixel width desired]>
<tr>
<td><img></td>
</tr>
</table>
Hope this helps

Vulken - take a look at coolsig.com then click on any subpage for an example. Note the banner at the top of the page surrounded by the "tree" graphics. That's what I mean.
I've seen it on other websites too.
Thanks.

a table bg attribute is used in this example for the trees and the central img is in the table.
Code below:
<center><table border="0" width="348" height="148" background="http://www.coolsig.com/cs_box.jpg"><tr><td><p align="center"><img src="http://www.coolsig.com/work.gif" width="265" height="78"></td></tr></table></center>

To create the effect your looking for first you need to design the image you want the banner to appear in. And in the spot where you want to add the banner make a cutout of the exact size you need.
Then slice the image and align with tables. Instead of placing the blank image where the banner goes, insert your banner code.
Its just like designing an interface and aligning it with tables but instead of the image you add the banner code.

No there is no way to turn of the tiling effect. You have to either scale the image to the td's size or vise versa. Someone correct me if I am wrong.....again..hehe
And while we are on the subject is there anyway to assign a image map to a bg image? I don't think there is...but hey it's worth a try.

If you dont want the background to tile try using css positioning that is the only way i know of to make the background appear in the exact position you need it. And is more accurate than using tables.
