Mikester Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 I was wondering something. Btw, i hope that someone who participated in making this site could help me. How did u make that when a person makes a post, depending on how long it is, the blue margins(i don't know exactly how i should call them), get longer to fit perfecty around the post? To know what i'm blabbering about: when you write the post, it's the bue bar(with a shadow on the left), that's just left to the smiley. So, when somebody makes a post, this blue bar gets longer or shorter to fit around the post. I hope i wasn't too confusing.... . If you understand what i've asked, pls tell me how to make that. Oh, and also in what program did u make it( frontpage, dreamweaver....). I'd really apreciate it. Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikester Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Thank you for the tip, but i was reffering to these things: http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/362/thingamginfied6qa.jpg <-- that's the margin(i don't know exactly how to call it) and the pic is magnified. http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6370/topright7to.gif <--this is the corner of the margin. I hope this is clear enough . So what i wanna know is how to make this thing automatically get longer or shorter according to the amount of writing inside it. in this next image you can exactly see what i'm talnikng about. http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/4860/here6mf.jpg it kinda looks like gtaforums. and i wanna know how to extend the part in the RED RECTANGLE. any suggestions...

Mikester Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 Actually it's not finished. I just wanted to see how it looks. The barfing i don't get. Is the design that bad?? Anyways, i forgot to say i've just started with this these things. Rather than using that image for the left border, trip a piece of it that is one pixel in height and use it for that cell's background. Voila. Erm...come again? I didn't quite get that..sry. That lask link was to an image i drew in Fireworks. I didn't use tables...don't laugh, as i said i'ma beginner. What did u mean by "use it for the cell's background"?
