How is this effect achieved?

[Gene]

I'm trying to figure out how to get the dotted line effect as shown above and below each link on some parked pages, like on casinoexe.com. I've tried viewing source file, tried saving the page to see what graphics come with it, tried right-clicking. Cannot find it as a graphic, so I'm assuming it's a css code of some kind. If you know, please share

it's CSS you need to define a class - something like this

.titleLink {
width:100%;
margin: 0px;
font-size: 10pt;
font-weight: bold;
border-bottom:1px solid #ddd;
color: #000;
}

i've not looked at page to check if SOLID or DOTTED (on border-bottom) is used but play around with this....

Thank you! I'm not well-versed in css, but I'll experiment with that a bit.

The site you linked to uses a dashed border on the top and bottom of each div like so:

.div {
	height:100px;
	border-top:1px dashed #000;
	border-bottom:1px dashed #000;
}

Another failure of IE is that it renders 1px dotted lines as though they were 1px dashed lines.

Just for your information, these are the current border types:
- Solid
- Dotted
- Dashed
- ridge
- groove
- double
- outset
- inset

if i see that a page is using CSS when viewing source, i have sometimes found success searching the source for "css" and looking where the file is located. for example if it says the location is "css/template.css" you go to whateversite.com/css/template.css and it will download it for you. not sure if it works on all sites, but i would guess it would have to. i am probably also saying this in the most confusing way possible :P
