Topic: pixel bevel

Hey all,
I'm wanting to create a pixel bevel effect for tables using css

so far i have found this but need to create the holder for the text http://www.thk-network.com/e-boredom/tutorials/css/cssbevel/

i would link to an example but i think every1 knows the effect i want to create and the link i wanted has excceded the bandwidth limit!!!!!

Cheers Aroma

So...what is the question exactly?

after playing around all afternoon i can't seem to get it to work, the questions is, is it possible to create the pixel bevel effect using css??

Cheers

If I've understood you question correctly, something I don't seem to have done, the link you gave the effect you want. Using only CSS it creates a bevel effect... But since that isn't the effect you are looking for would you care to explain it again for silly little me?

I want to create a similar box etc to this in css but obviously using straight lines and not little cut outs like in the demo!!!!!!!

Cheers

The only way I can think of is using one color for the top and left border and then using a darker/lighter shade of the same color on the bottom and right border. That will create a bevel effect and that is the only way I know of to do a bevel with CSS only. The closest I could get to the link you showed using this method was this (works in Mozilla and IE6)...

border:1px inset #888;

Bam. "bevel" effect built into CSS. Try also "outset." (Or "ridge" or "groove," or just use separate colors for each border-left, border-top, etc all with "solid.")
