I am seeking some assistance creating a border that scales with different screen sizes/devices. I've attached both the desired outcome, html/css I've written so far and a live page to preview the results so far.
Issues/Questions:
- The border is set using pixels, and I'm concerned that it won't scale to the proper proportions on different devices/browsers.
- The corners don't match very well.
- Is there a better way to achieve the desired border so as to scale proportionally and achieve the desired corner formatting? Maybe a vector image?
I'm close to achieving a match, but there must be a (more simple? better?) way to re-create that type of border. Many thanks for looking this over and for your input.
Regards,
Zephyr
EDIT/UPDATE:
I've also tried using background-image:
and creating six .png files, one for each corner with a solid white background, and one each for the top/bottom and left/right sides of the "border". Again, it's close but the images don't always line up correctly.
There must be a way to do this, perhaps in a svg image that scales itself depending on the size of the section its in, but that is way beyond my talents.
Thanks for considering the issue!
