css/html

can anyone tell me if the folowing code is correct;

(html)

<div id="img1"> <img src="img/babies.jpg" alt="baby photo"> </div>

css

img1{

border: 8px solid #8f583d;

}

on the browser page the above border code covers the image but the right side goes as far as the page width, which i do not want i want the border to rap the image in all sides.

thanks in advance.

Your code is formatted incorrectly but I think I know what it looks like.

You forgot to call your img1 class as a class in your css by forgetting the period before the class name.

If your html is this:

   <div class="img1">
     <img src="img/babies.jpg" alt="baby photo">
   </div>

Then your css should be: (assuming you defined a class)

.img1{
   border: 8px solid #8f583d;
}

Then your css should be: (assuming you defined an ID)

#img1{
   border: 8px solid #8f583d;
}

You call a class in your CSS with a period and you call an id in your CSS with a hashtag.

Hi sorry for the delay. It is an id, sorry my mistake here is the code again; ON HTML---

<div id="img1"> <img src="img/babies.jpg" alt="baby photo"> </div>

ON CSS---

img1{

border: 8px solid #8f583d; }

I have even changed it to class it won't make a difference, the border right side stretches.
