Creating a Page Border

[jscat40]

I'm trying to create a border around my entire page (0.5 inches around).

When I use the rectangle tool (the one without the "x" inside), I make my rectangle, and all of my content "vanishes." There are those little red boxes with little "x's" inside of them surrounding the box, but I don't know if that's a part of the problem or the solution.

How do I make a "border" without making an entire "rectangle?"

(I'm very much the beginner, please be nice.)

Not sure what you mean by a "rectangle". But the way to put a half inch border around your page would be to include the following CSS:

<style>
BODY {
 border: 0.5in solid green;
}

</style>

You should also specify the type of style - some browsers are quite fussy:

<style [b]type="text/css"[/b]>

Hope this helps,
