---+!! PatternSkinCssCookbook Recipe: Center the page with a border
5
*This recipe shows how to put a border around the page, while centering the page horizontally.* The example on this page uses a gradient image as background - on top of a gray base color. You can choose to set no image of course.
7
<div class="foswikiHelp">
8
This line loads the extra style definition:
10
* Set USERSTYLEURL = %PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkinCssCookbookCenterPageBorder/centerpageborder.css
12
You can write this line in %SYSTEMWEB%.DefaultPreferences, in %USERSWEB%.SitePreferences, in WebPreferences, in your user topic or on a single page.
15
Add the dynamic link to the logo image to the topic text:
17
<style type="text/css" media="all">
19
background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkinCssCookbookCenterPageBorder/gradient_page.gif");
20
background-repeat:repeat-x;
23
background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkin/striped_pageshadow.gif");
27
<div class="foswikiHelp">
28
%ICON{info}% If you don't write this overloading style in a template and use an external =.css= file, you need to set the image to the absolute url:
30
<style type="text/css" media="all">
32
background-image:url("%<nop>ATTACHURLPATH%/gradient_page.gif");
33
background-repeat:repeat-x;
37
You can always write a =<style>= in a topic - all current browsers support this - but the page won't validate as valid XHTML.
40
<style type="text/css" media="all">
42
background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkinCssCookbookCenterPageBorder/gradient_page.gif");
43
background-repeat:repeat-x;
46
background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PatternSkin/striped_pageshadow.gif");
