I am interested in making my sites more interesting, like interesting borders for stuff to go in, not like regular lined borders, mainly something like this site: http://www.strike-force.com/index.php?page=about.htm Most people r saying that I can achieve websites like that in CSS. I have now learned CSS, however it doesn't seem like it has the capability to do stuff like that, and just make very eye catching sites. I was wondering if this had to be achieved in PHP, or something of that nature. Thanks

As ilya says, what is impressing you is design. HTML, CSS, Javascript, graphic images are all part of the implementation of the design.

<div align="left" width="250"><p class="pad1">
<table><tr>
<td align="center"><font size="+1">
<u><b>This is a sample of how CSS can make weard borders.</b></u>
</font></td>
</tr></table>
</p></div>
<div align="right" width="250"><p class="pad2">
<table><tr>
<td align="center"><font size="+1">
<u><b>This is a sample of how CSS can make weard borders.</b></u>
</font></td>
</tr></table>
</p></div>
</body></html>


There is 2 different borders here. You can format the CSS for a better look.


Hope I helped :)

CSS is more than capable of that design. Once you've got your graphic design and visual communication wings, head to www.w3schools.com for the basics on HTML and CSS, then go to www.alistapart.com and read up on the latest design techniques.
