  • I’m not going to go through your whole list, but to add border and padding to images:

    img {border:solid 1px black; padding: 5px; margin: 5px}

    Will put a thin black border around EVERY image on your site with a white space (so to speak) between the border and the image, and then space between the border and the surrounding text/content.

    If you would like to only style the image in, say, your sidebar, and your sidebar is called menu, then it would look like this:

    #menu img {border:solid 1px black; padding: 5px;.....}

    If you want to put space around a specific image, you can create an inline style like this:

    <img src="ball.gif" alt="picture of a red ball" style="border:solid 1px black; padding: 5px; margin:5px" />

    Does that help?

    Well is the image is in the navigation div:

    #main img {
    border: 1px black solid; /* change to desired color and width */
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 5px;
    }
    or

    #side bar img {
    border: 1px black solid; /* change to desired color and width */
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 5px;
    }

    This will do it too all the images in those div’s.

    For a single or once in a while use:

    img.bordered {
    border: 1px black solid; /* change to desired color and width */
    margin: 5px;
    padding: 5px;
    }

    <img src=”img.gif” width=”10″ height=”10″ alt=”alt name” class=”bordered” />

    Lorelle – Thanks, you’re awesome. That is what I needed. I don’t mind coding it like that at all.
