---+!! PatternSkinCssCookbook Recipe: Center the page with a border

*This recipe shows how to put a border around the page, while centering the page horizontally.* The example on this page uses a gradient image as background - on top of a gray base color. You can choose to set no image of course.

<div class="twikiHelp">
This line loads the extra style definition:
<verbatim>
	* Set USERSTYLEURL = %ATTACHURL%/centerpage.css
</verbatim>
You can write this line in %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiPreferences, in WebPreferences, in your user topic or on a single page.
</div>

Add the dynamic variable link to the logo image to the topic text:
<verbatim>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
html body {
background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/gradient_page.gif");
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
#patternPageShadow {
background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/striped_pageshadow.gif");
}
</style>
</verbatim>
<div class="twikiHelp">
%ICON{info}% If you don't write this overloading style in a template and use an external =.css= file, you need to set the image to the absolute url:
<pre>
&lt;style type="text/css" media="all">
html body {
background-image:url("<nop>%PUBURLPATH%/<nop>%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/gradient_page.gif");
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
&lt;/style>
</pre>
You can always write a =&lt;style>= in a topic - all current browsers support this - but the page won't validate as valid XHTML.
</div>

<style type="text/css" media="all">
html body {
background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/gradient_page.gif");
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
#patternPageShadow {
background-image:url("%PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/PatternSkin/striped_pageshadow.gif");
}</style>
