Hi friends,

I am making a web based project of my college and over here i am facing some issues with it's border length and spacing everything is working fine but the "length" or "spacing" property does not take. The length of the border persists in being 100% of the side of the div.this properties it's not working. Can anyone help me out with this issue.

IF you want to set border length and spacing for that try to use the below code.

<div id="border-div"> 
<div id="content-div">

If you are talking about border length and spacing then it's not the borders, it's the size of the box which you need to specify and for giving spacing between the boxes is being given by padding property which you would be knowing it. If you are having any horizontal rules in that case you need to set the width as hr { width: 90%; margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 2em }.
