Bordering Problem

[tiamat2012]

Hey, I've discovered that when you put a border around an image it moves everything else. I didn't mind this that much when there were three or four images, however, at one point I have a line of 8 by 3 pictures, 150 by 200, with a onMouseOver that puts a blue border around the picture, and gets rid of it with onMouseOut.

All the pictures go frantic when I touch one of them; is there a way I can stop them from moving though still putting a border around them? (Only onMouseOver)

Thank you for your time,
-Tiamat

When you mouse over, in addition to adding a border, can you decrease its width? Also, to avoid with calculation issues, google the "Box Model Hack".

Thanks, it worked. I didn't quite figure out the Box Model Hack but I'm sure more research will uncover its efficiency .

I had exact calculations on the pictures I was dealing with and it was in a loop, so only a couple figures had to change, and calculating in this case wasn't a problem.

Thank you very much,
Tiamat

how about putting a border of the same colour as the background around the images when they arent mousedOver?

Then you simply change the colour of the border rather than adding a border... the element always occupies the same space.
