Moving contents
out of a bordered background
(generalized version for
non-Webtv PageBuilder webpages)


If you are using a left-sided bordered background, in order to move your text and contents of the webpage to the right and out of the bordered area, use one or more <<>blockquote> tags right after the <<>body> code tag.


NOTE: If you are using the Webtv PageBuilder, you will need to

1. Use an  "advanced editor" method  to display the background image
   
2. Add the <<>blockquote> tags in every "add an item"--"text" or "heading" area used.
   
3. See  previous page

Format for using <<>blockquote> tags on a non-Webtv PageBuilder webpage:

<<>html>
<<>head><<>title>optional title<<>/title><<>/head>

<<>body background="url of image" text="??" link="??" vlink="??" alink="??">

<<>blockquote><<>blockquote>

Rest of the webpage contents here

<<>/blockquote><<>/blockquote>

<<>/body><<>/html>

Another way is to use a 2-celled table for your entire webpage, with an empty cell in the left/first cell (using one &nbsp;) , and the contents of your webpage in the right/second cell.

NOTE: If you are using the Webtv PageBuilder, you will need to

1. Use an  "advanced editor" method  in the first "add an item"--"text" area to display the background image
   
2. Add the table codes below in every "add an item"--"text" or "heading" area used
   
3. And use these codes  <<>/td><<>/tr><<>/table>  in the 2nd, 3rd, etc. "add an item"--"text" areas in addition to (before) the regular table codes used below.

Format for use on a non-Webtv PageBuilder webpage:

<<>html>
<<>head><<>title>optional title<<>/title><<>/head>
<<>body background="url of image" text="??" link="??" vlink="??" alink="??">

<<>table width="100%" border="0">
<<>tr>

<<>!-- the first cell area is empty (using one &nbsp;) that will "occupy" the bordered area of your background; adjust the width as needed -->

<<>td width="150">
&nbsp;
<<>/td>

<<>!-- the second cell area contains the content of the webpage; the contents will be moved over to the right by the empty cell with &nbsp;, used in the first cell -->

<<>td valign="top" align="left">
All of your webpage content here---images, text, etc
<<>/td>

<<>/tr>
<<>/table>

<<>/body>
<<>/html>

Another way is to use a 2-celled table for your entire webpage, with a transparent gif in the left/first cell (the width of the first cell and the transparent gif should be the same---increase or decrease the width to move the text out of the bordered area), and the contents of your webpage in the right/second cell.

NOTE: If you are using the Webtv PageBuilder, you will need to

1. Use an  "advanced editor" method  in the first "add an item"--"text" area to display the background image
   
2. Add the table codes below in every "add an item"--"text" or "heading" area used
   
3. And use these codes  <<>/td><<>/tr><<>/table>  in the 2nd, 3rd, etc. "add an item"--"text" areas in addition to (before) the regular table codes used below.

Format for use on a non-Webtv PageBuilder webpage:

<<>html>
<<>head><<>title>optional title<<>/title><<>/head>
<<>body background="url of image" text="??" link="??" vlink="??" alink="??">

<<>table width="100%" border="0">
<<>tr>

<<>!-- the first cell area contains a transparent gif that will "occupy" the bordered area of your background; adjust the width as needed -->

<<>td width="150">
<<>img src="http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Pit/4965/photos/transgif.gif" width="150" height="5">
<<>/td>

<<>!-- the second cell area contains the content of the webpage; the contents will be moved over to the right by the transparent gif, used in the first cell -->

<<>td valign="top" align="left">
All of your webpage content here---images, text, etc
<<>/td>

<<>/tr>
<<>/table>

<<>/body>
<<>/html>
