Is it possible to put an image into a CSS border? I keep trying but it won’t take! Maybe my image isn’t exactly the pixel dimensions it should be?

Thanks

@WebJoelMay 04.2006 — What code do you have so far? Is this for any border, or a specific border, like a left border, bottom border, etc.?

What should work is something like:

[CODE]border-image: url("border.png")[/CODE] and some specificity as to placing it (repeat, repeat-x or repeat-y, etc.)

<i>
</i>border: url(yourimage.jpg);

I wasn't sure either, until I looked it up. It's still bleeding-edge and probably not useful to most browsers yet...

See:
