Hey guys, I'm pretty green to web design/development and am taking an independent study in college for it. My project is an online restaurant review site called
Check Please! . As of now, I'm familiar with straight HTML and have gotten my feet wet with CSS and Javascript.
Anyways, I want my borders for the page content to extend off the page itself, so as the keep my "shadow frame" concept intact. I accomplished this at the top by setting the margin-top for <body> at -5px, but this doesn't address the bottom. So right now I just have this silly gap. Is there a better way for me to be doing this? Or am I on the right track with my -5px method and just need to figure out how to set my margin-bottom to... say... 105% without having the window being resized?
I'm actually sort of embarrassed asking you guys to check out my code after just reading about xhtml and proper coding techniques and such. My site is rampant with tables-as-design-tools and iframes. The directory structure to accommodate this is slightly obscene. It feels dirty now. But oh well, I'm still playing catch-up. I just bought a book about PHP and MySQL and it's funny because it's looking like everywhere that I'm using iframes will simply be replaced by PHP-MySQL dynamically generated content. It's almost as if I planned it that way, using the iframes as place-holders until I learned better ways of doing it. Here's to a clean-code rewrite in my site's future!
