Border just barely off

Go to solution Solved by Ziggy,

Recommended Posts

Hi! 

I wanted to create a simple border around a part of a section. So- to do this, I added a "shape" and colored it tan (the color of the background of my site), then I added a border, using css, to that shape. However, the bottom of the border doesn't align with the shape next to it and even though it's BARELY off, it's driving me crazy. Any tips?

It looks like the border is constrained, so moves the content down by the border width, and then the bottom border protrudes down. You could just add the border to the left side block in the same manner and it should line up. Alternatively you could apply the border to the .fe-block id like this:

.fe-block-yui_3_17_2_1_1672846288110_128722 {
  border: 1.8px solid #d8cc34;
}

Hope that helps!

@ZiggySorry, I'm still having the same issue 😞 I tried a few things- right now, I've got this code on a section (as opposed to blocks) on my home page:


 

/* BORDER AROUND ABOUT */

section[data-section-id="63b59f38a9ad4a527339de41"] {
  border: 1.8px solid #d8cc34;
}


 

 

but as you can see- the shape in not flush with the border. Any tips?

Try this adjustment:

/* BORDER AROUND ABOUT */

section[data-section-id="63b59f38a9ad4a527339de41"] {
  .page-section .section-border {
    border: 1.8px solid #d8cc34;
  }
}

Sorry about that, try without the .page-section:

/* BORDER AROUND ABOUT */

section[data-section-id="63b59f38a9ad4a527339de41"] {
  .section-border {
    border: 1.8px solid #d8cc34;
  }
}

Yep, you need to use "border-top" and "border-bottom" not "top-border", "bottom-border".
