CSS limit border

[Aspen]

Hi friends,

I am working on a web project where i want to set the limit of the border of a web page. At the same time i need to specify the white space within a border which would be above, below and besides the words enclosed in the border? I have try a lot to to find out it's code but was not able to get it.

I was also having similar type of issue and i try to find a lot over internet and asked many people about the same and finally i imitated the border with background images and it was somewhat to my expectations. Try to follow the same thing hope it works for you.

I guess Vibha is correct , as per my knowledge CSS border element is a border and therefore you are able to have side but it's length would be always 100%. By using <div> you can get the effect for it. Always remember margin and backgrounds are used for test display purposes only.

#border-div {position: relative; width: 250px; height: 160px; border-right: 2px #f00 solid; border-left: 2px #f00 solid; margin: 20% 0 0 20%;
}
#content-div {position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 200px; background: #ff0;
}

Try to use the following code hope it works for you, because i was able to have
CSS limit border by using the following code.

table
{
border-collapse:separate;
border-spacing:10px 50px;
}
