Thanks for the explanation. Could you please illustrate it with an
example?
Let's say that this is my page:
<html>
<HEAD>
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<title>Index</title>
<body text=#000000 alink=#993300 link=#0033cc vlink=#0033cc>
<font size=2 face="Verdana", Arial", "Helvetica">
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/"> The New York Times</a><br>
</font>
</body>
</html>
and the graphic I will use for the line on the right side is
margin.gif
Could you please show me how should I incorporate the extra code so
that I get a line on the right side of the page..
