Website Help

Ok, I just got my website on the internet, now I need to know two things. First, if I come up with a really cool design for the page, do I have to get a copyright for it, or is it already copyrighted? Second, how do you get the borders to work in IE?

I tried looking this up, but as always I found nothing but crap.

Borders?.. Just use CSS.

.. is a huge help. Shows you how to achieve common CSS tasks inline as well as external CSS.

The copyrighting info was great, but I just need to know how to get the borders to show up in IE. The borders work fine in Firefox, but IE refuses to show them. I think I read somewhere that the order of the border-width matters in IE, but I don't know. I'll keep working with it and see what happens.

Use a CSS style - Preferably an external stylesheet [style.css, for example]

I used this on a site, once.. I'll copy and paste the CSS exactly here:

<br/>
#leftcontent {<br/>
<br/>
	width: 50%;<br/>
<br/>
	float: left;<br/>
<br/>
	padding: 10px;<br/>
<br/>
	background-color: #f4f7f9;<br/>
<br/>
	border: 1px solid #98a5b1;<br/>
<br/>
}<br/>

.. hope that paste worked.

Damn.. When I clicked 'Submit' it added about 4000 break tags..LOL.. Sorry, mate. You get the idea. Play with CSS, some.

How do you start one? Easy!

Open a fresh notepad document and paste the above text [minus the 15~ break tags] into it. Save-as 'style.css' or whathaveyou. Of course you'll want to speficy more, but there's millions of "howto"s online.
