First website I've ever made, complete noob to HTML.
I've been working on a portfolio website where I can upload different things that I work on and employers can take a gander at it. It's almost complete, there is just one thing I haven't been able to get working: vertical lines. http://www.michaelblakeferguson.com I am simply trying to get a vertical line to span the full length of the website on the left and right sides, the idea is that it will make it more "enclosed". I currently have a wrapper for the entire <body>. I tried to create a table with 3 columns. C1 for the left vertical line, C2 for the body, C3 for the right vertical line. That seemed to work initially but it squished all of the elements together in C2. I have a feeling that it is a margin problem. But each time I try to adjust the values it completely messes up the positioning of all elements. I am pretty sure I've taken the path of least resistance and made this website the ghetto way, so I'm not sure if I've done something incorrectly... Can someone explain the correct way to go about putting vertical lines around what already exists? Any comments on the way I've gone about programming things so far? I'm assuming you can look at the HTML code using F12, but if needed I can upload the source code. This post has been edited by mferguson: Sep 24 2020, 07:55 PM |

I don't do 'lightbox' but you should really start a new thread for new questions. You have already tacked a couple of new questions to this thread. By doing this you limit your audience. In the future, please start a new thread when you have new questions. It doesn't matter that the questions apply to the same project.

I've gotten in some trouble by spamming questions on other forums before. It seems like the majority of forum moderators prefer you to limit your project to a single thread. If I made a post for each time I was looking for help I'd have 3/4 posts by now. This post has been edited by mferguson: Sep 28 2020, 07:57 AM |

You won't get into trouble. But we can help you better if we understand what you are doing and for that keeping things apart helps. As you've read we are all confused about what's what now.
