    1. Re: [FreeHelp] External CSS - Triple borders (with table #2 extremely thin)

    3. Barry, My plan was to take the "genealogy" css that contains the Mobile code and all the different ids and classes you set up a year ago, and just change the images and colors. Since I used that css so much, I hoped I'd still remember how to use most of it. So I tried to plug in your most recent styles into that css file. I think I got most of it put in the right places. I changed the ids in your Styles back to the previously used ones. I had to guess what to do with a couple of your #content a link items, because in the genealogy.css they were all under a section called "links" but not connected to #content. I ran W3 validator on the css. It shows 2 errors: under body, it does not like: background-repeat: repeat; And it says there is a value error on background image for div (dot) hr background-image: ; When you get time, could you look over what I merged together so far and see if you see the issues? Here is the css (looks messy online, sorry) http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pawashin/test_with_feb-09-2016.css Here is the page: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pawashin/test_with_feb-09-2016_css-new.htm The page validates perfectly with the Mobile code added (yay), but I have problems with the display. Examples: Body background does not show. It shows on my computer. But it improved on my PC when I took out the "fixed" line of css. I still cannot get the 2 searches set side by side in a table put in an include. It has an extra "cell" in the right cell. The R-L positioning is bad and the Google image is squished. In the body, the (Latin) text is all bold. (Most of the page text is bold, rather than bold just for titles and highlights.) I'm sure I need to work on my includes but I cannot do more today. Lastly, though it displays a more 'balanced' R/L now, (for me) there is still too much background showing R/L. I'd rather have the outermost border "thinner", like on: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~florian/ I primarily need the content area as wide as possible because I have wide photos and atlas map images that will need most of the content R to L space. Here's an example of one map (family or school photos are often even wider) : http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~pawashin/atlas/maple-creek-cemetery-before-I-70.html (Other maps are even larger and will cause a right-scroll regardless.) In the footer, my bottom include looks bad but I haven't figured out what's wrong. And I'll need wider hr divider images I think. Thank you, Judy
