This
example gets a little fancier by adding a colorful border around the light, papery writing area.
Just as in
the previous example, it begins with a one-cell table. Its
background and that of its one cell is the brightly patterned
texture that makes up the frame around the page. This table is 85% of
the screen's width. Its cell padding is set to 32 pixels
and its cell spacing to 0 pixels to create a margin around its
contents. The wider the cell padding, the wider the colorful border
around the paper will be.
Nested
inside that is a second, one-cell table that contains the off-white
paper texture.
The page background image is a third texture: the muted patterning on which the paper and its frame rests. This style can
create an elegant look but be careful to choose textures that are small
in memory needs. Three patterns will need to load before your page is
complete; you don't want visitors to become impatient while waiting.
