coupon dashed lines

[jrthor2]

How can I get a dashed line around my image, like you see around coupons to be cut out?

Thanks

style="border-style:dashed"

[jrthor2]

I can do that on an images in the html code??

[TheBearMay]

Sure.

<img src="coupon.gif" style="border-style:dashed" />

[jrthor2]

even with the border=0?

[TheBearMay]

:confused: border="0" doesn't display any border, which is the exact opposite of what I thought you were trying to do.

[jrthor2]

Well, the image is a link, so I don't want a blue link border around the image.

[TheBearMay]

Then try:


<img src="coupon.gif" style="border-style:dashed; border-color:black;" />

[jrthor2]

that's ok, but it's not quite the effect I was looking for. I want something more like the attached image.

[TheBearMay]

That appears to be a function of whatever program was used to draw/edit the image.

[jrthor2]

You can't do that in photoshop??

[TheBearMay]

Not sure about PhotoShop, but in most programs you have a way of changing the line style to a dashed line...

jrthor2, you can use the Rounded Rectangle Tool in PS6. Depending on the thickness of the line, go to Select > Modify > Contract then choose how many pixels you'd like your selection contracted. Just hit delete and you've got a nice stroked path with rounded edges. As far as the dashes go, I don't know a way to put those in there except manually deleting spaces in the stroked path. Now Illustrator DOES have the ability to create dashes in a path, but I don't have Illustrator at this job so I can't tell you exactly how. It's been about two years since I've used Illustrator.
