A search on this forum revealed this - so I did it as it seemed the best way to do it - but the border does not collapse very well.

What font is that that you have used on your blackboard image? I like it very much

How do you mean?

Remove the border and change the background colour of the main page to the colour you want should give that effect.

body{ background:#0066FF; }

Hi Webman,

I did this originally, but it didn't work and the page looked awful as the colour was visible between several of the elements.

I want to try creating a wrapper as can be seen on this website:

Education in South Wales

I assume 'wrapper' is the correct term as it wraps the whole website in a blue rounded box but on top of the blue background.

Evening Hodge,

I'm not at my usual computer this evening (staying at parents in law's house) - but I'll get back to you. I think it came with CS3 which is on my other machine.
