There is a border around the pics on this site www.waynesboroheritagefoundation.com but the way that the achieve this border is by placing a border around the image in photoshop, or whichever program that they use.
I was wondering if it is possible to achieve the same, or similar, effect using just css?
I think that a purely CSS solution would be much more flexible and you wouldn't have to worry about the load time for an image (which I know is not generally a great concern now but I am old school. :) )
Thanks for reading and any suggestions!

You probably mean this effect:
As you can see, it is in the picture itself, made with some kind of photo editor.
You can also do it with pure CSS, by wrapping your image in a span (or some other element):
HTML:
<span><img src='...' /></span>
CSS:
span {
padding: 5px;
background: white;
display: inline-block;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #ccc;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #ccc;
}
Live demo: JSFiddle.
EDIT
Based on King King's excellent comment, an even better solution is to add a white border to the image instead of wrapping it in a span.
img {
display: inline-block;
border: 5px solid white;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #ccc;
box-shadow: 0 0 3px 3px #ccc;
}
Check this demo.
padding: 5px; // how wide the border has to be
background: white;// border colour (in this case)
display: inline-block;
the white border can be given by putting above code.

Does anyone know the CSS required to add an outer border around textboxes like this example from Twitter?
Thanks for the help
outline:
input{outline:solid 4px #ccc}
(another option it to wrap the input with div of course)
You can use the box-shadow property
http://jsfiddle.net/VXJdV/
input {
display: block;
margin: 2em;
box-shadow: 0 0 10px gray;
}
input[type="text"],input[type="password"]{
border: solid 1px #ccc;
padding: 4px;
border-radius:4px;
}
You'll want to cover the other border radius too, -moz- & -webkit-
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/BqpZh/
.classname
{
box-shadow:0 0 2px red
}
use this class or you and add box-shadow property to your existing class. You can increase 2px to 5px or 10 for broder shadow
.front-card .text-input:focus {
border:1px solid #56b4ef;
-webkit-box-shadow:inset 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.05),0 0 8px rgba(82,168,236,.6);
-moz-box-shadow:inset 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.05),0 0 8px rgba(82,168,236,.6);
box-shadow:inset 0 1px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.05),0 0 8px rgba(82,168,236,.6)
}
Using box shadow will help you like this:
class{
box-shadow: horizontal vertical blur-radius spread-radius color;
box-shadow:2px 0 3px 5px red;
}
horizontal (-value will move towards left) (+value on right)
vertical (-value will move upwards) (+value on downwords)
blur-radius: will blur the color you choose around box
spread-radius: will spread color to the chosen distance
You can use a wrapping div outside of the input box and give it that background color and rounded corners!
HTML:
<div class="outter"><input class="inputbox"></input></div>
CSS:
.outter {
margin: 20px;
padding: 10px;
border-radius: 15px;
background-color: red;
display: inline-block;
}
.inputbox {
border-radius: 5px;
}
Here you have a jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/dsBgw/
You can consider using multiple shadows:
input[type="text"]{
box-shadow: 0 2px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.2),
0 1px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.2),
0 0 0 12px rgba(255,255,255,0.4);
}
i have a demo, it it like the login form for twitter. if you want to view, pls click here.
I applied the following style to the submit button visible in this test page :
border-radius: 25px;
border: none;
background: #FE6181;
box-shadow: 0 0 0px 0.4em #f4f4f4 inset;
padding: 20px;
As you can see there's some awfully irregular pink border which has nothing to do here around the button. Why is that ?
Your inset box shadow doesn't QUITE fill right out to the edges, leaving the background visible.
I'm not familiar with box shadow, but you need a shadow that is both inset and outset, but only outset by about a pixel, so it covers up the outline.
The property "box-shadow" apparently render bad because of the background.
In your case using "border" may solve the problem
border-radius: 25px;
border: 0.4em solid #F4F4F4;
background: #FE6181;
padding: 20px;
Here's my source image:
And my source image zoomed in:
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this with only CSS3? Notice the slight bleed upwards into the element.
Update: I've removed the vendor prefixes, since almost every browser that supports these properties do not need them. Dropping them is considered a best practice at this point.
See Caniuse page for border-radius and box-shadow.
the best (and only) way to do this is to use multiple box-shadows:
element {
box-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px 2px 3px, inset rgba(0,0,0,0.2) 0px -1px 2px;
border-radius: 20px;
}
box-shadow works like this:
box-shadow: [direction (inset)] [color] [Horizontal Distance] [Vertical Distance] [size];
border-radius works like this:
border-radius: [size];
/*or*/
border-radius: [topleft/bottomright size] [topright/bottomleft size];
/*or*/
border-radius: [topleft] [topright] [bottomright] [bottomleft];
you can specify the Height an length of the curve like this:
border-radius: [tl-width] [tr-width] [br-width] [bl-width] / [tl-height] [tr-height] [br-height] [bl-height];
It's just using two box shadows, one inset and the other outset, i.e:
.box {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
box-shadow: 0 3px 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.3), inset 0 -3px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
border: solid #ccc 1px;
border-radius: 10px;
margin: 50px 0 0 50px;
}
See it here: http://jsfiddle.net/WYLJv/
This is actually done with two CSS3 box-shadows.
CSS:
#fuzz
{
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
border-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #333;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 5px #333, inset 0px 0px 2px #333;
}
You can see it in action when i get back to real computer to edit the fiddle :-) (using my tablet now)
Obviously change the colors to your taste :)
Look at css3 property border-radius. It has options for x and y offset color and the blur radius. In your case a greyish color no offset and blur if 4px ought to work.
I'm a bit late but, yes, use border radius and box-shadow(s) and you should be good to go.
.block {
border-radius:6px;
box-shadow: inset 0px 0px 2px 2px #aaa, 3px 3px 5px 0px #eee;
}
Try adding a border-radius and a text-shadow in your css.
.box {
border-radius:20px;
text-shadow:2px 2px black;
}
Hope this helps.
You can probably just get away with setting the border to a light colour and outline to a darker colour, then just set the border-radius. Note I haven't tested this, and if memory serves the outline does not curve with border-radius. Also note that border-radius requires several attributes to be set to become cross-browser compatible. Refer to http://perishablepress.com/press/2008/11/24/perfect-rounded-corners-with-css/ for more info.
If this fails, you could always use an inner-div, which you set to position absolute, left 0, right 0, top 0 and bottom 0 and then use that as either the inner or outer border. Setting the border-radius will definitely work then.

Client wants two color borders for an embossed look. Can I do this on one element? I was hoping to avoid stacking two DOM elements with individual borders.
Yep: Use the outline property; it acts as a second border outside of your border. Beware, tho', it can interact in a wonky fashion with margins, paddings and drop-shadows. In some browsers you might have to use a browser-specific prefix as well; in order to make sure it picks up on it: -webkit-outline and the like (although WebKit in particular doesn't require this).
This can also be useful in the case where you want to jettison the outline for certain browsers (such as is the case if you want to combine the outline with a drop shadow; in WebKit the outline is inside of the shadow; in FireFox it is outside, so -moz-outline: 0 is useful to ensure that you don't get a gnarly line around your beautiful CSS drop shadow).
.someclass {
border: 1px solid blue;
outline: 1px solid darkblue;
}
Edit: Some people have remarked that outline doesn't jive well with IE < 8. While this is true; supporting IE < 8 really isn't something you should be doing.
This is very possible. It just takes a little CSS trickery!
div.border {
border: 1px solid #000;
position: relative;
}
div.border:before {
position: absolute;
display: block;
content: '';
border: 1px solid red;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
}
<div class="border">Hi I have two border colors<br />I am also Fluid</div>
Is that what you are looking for?
Another way is to use box-shadow:
#mybox {
box-shadow:
0 0 0 1px #CCC,
0 0 0 2px #888,
0 0 0 3px #444,
0 0 0 4px #000;
-moz-box-shadow:
0 0 0 1px #CCC,
0 0 0 2px #888,
0 0 0 3px #444,
0 0 0 4px #000;
-webkit-shadow:
0 0 0 1px #CCC,
0 0 0 2px #888,
0 0 0 3px #444,
0 0 0 4px #000;
}
<div id="mybox">ABC</div>
See example here.
Have you tried the different border styles available within the CSS spec? There's already two border styles that might accommodate your need:
border-style: ridge;
Or
border-style: groove;
Outline is good, but only when you want the border all around.
Lets say if you want to make it only on bottom or top you can use
<style>
#border-top {
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 #fff;
}
</style>
<p id="border-top">This is my content</p>
And for bottom:
<style>
#border-bottom {
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
box-shadow: 0 1px 0 #fff;
}
</style>
<p id="border-bottom">This is my content</p>
Hope that this helps.
Instead of using unsupported and problematic outline just use
background-color + padding for the inner border
normal border for the outer one.
Example:
HTML:
<img src="http://cdn3.thumbs.common.smcloud.net/common/8/6/s/863444wpPN.jpg/r-0,500-n-863444wpPN.jpg" alt="malkovich" />
CSS:
img {
padding: 1px;
background: yellow;
border:1px solid black;
}
TEST(JSFiddle):
img {
padding: 1px;
background: yellow;
border: 1px solid black;
}
<img src="http://cdn3.thumbs.common.smcloud.net/common/8/6/s/863444wpPN.jpg/r-0,500-n-863444wpPN.jpg" alt="malkovich" />
If by "embossing" you mean two borders around each other with two different colours, there is the outline property (outline-left, outline-right....) but it is poorly supported in the IE family (namely, IE6 and 7 don't support it at all). If you need two borders, a second wrapper element would indeed be best.
If you mean using two colours in the same border. Use e.g.
border-right: 1px white solid;
border-left: 1px black solid;
border-top: 1px black solid;
border-bottom: 1px white solid;
there are special border-styles for this as well (ridge, outset and inset) but they tend to vary across browsers in my experience.
Adding the following CSS properties to a border will achieve a double border of two distinct colors and identical widths for those who are interested.
Example:
Selector {
border: 10px red;
border-block-start-style: ridge;
border-inline-start-style: ridge;
border-inline-end-style: groove;
border-block-end-style: groove;
}
Not possible, but you should check to see if border-style values like inset, outset or some other, accomplished the effect you want.. (i doubt it though..)
CSS3 has the border-image properties, but i do not know about support from browsers yet (more info at http://www.css3.info/preview/border-image/)..
Simply write
style="border:medium double;"
for the html tag
You could use
<html>
<head>
<title>Two Colors</title>
<style type="text/css">
.two-colors {
background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% rgb(245, 245, 245); border-color: rgba(111,111,111,0.2) transparent;
padding: 4px; outline: 1px solid green;
}
</style>
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 40px;
background-color:yellow;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a target="_blank" href="people.htm">
<img class="two-colors" src="people.jpg" alt="Klematis" width="213" height="120" />
</a>
</body>
</html>
This produces a nice effect.
<div style="border: 1px solid gray; padding: 1px">
<div style="border: 1px solid gray">
internal stuff
</div>
</div>
I have a searchbox with auto-suggest that pops a div up underneath it with multiple search string suggestions (like google). Is it possible to have drop shadow on the auto-suggest box with CSS or will I need a script of some sort? I tried a background image but the number of suggests can vary from 1 to 10 or 15.
I'd prefer something that works in IE6+ and FF2+ if possible. Thanks!
This works for me on all my browsers:
.shadow {
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 30px 5px #999;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 30px 5px #999;
}
then just give any div the shadow class, no jQuery required.
CSS3 has a box-shadow property. Vendor prefixes are required at the moment for maximum browser compatibility.
div.box-shadow {
-webkit-box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px 1px #fff;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 4px 1px #fff;
}
There is a generator available at css3please.
.shadow {
-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
box-shadow: 3px 3px 5px 6px #ccc;
}
The most widely compatible way of doing this is likely going to be creating a second div under your auto-suggest box the same size as the box itself, nudged a few pixels down and to the right. You can use JS to create and position it, which shouldn't be terribly difficult if you're using a fairly modern framework.
you might want to try this. Seems to be pretty easy and works on IE6 and Moz atleast.
<div id ="show" style="background-color:Silver;width:100px;height:100px;visibility:visible;border-bottom:outset 1px black;border-right:outset 1px black;" ></div>
The general syntax is :
border-[postion]:[border-style] [border-width] [border-color] | inherit
The list of available [border-style]s are :
dashed
dotted
double
groove
hidden
inset
none
outset
ridge
solid
inherit
You can try using the PNG drop shadows. IE6 doesn't support it, however it will degrade nicely.
