I would like to add a white border over all my images in my content div using css. Images in the header and footer div areas should not be affected. how do I achieve this? See example image below. There are images of different sizes on the web pages.
See image:
You can do this without having an extra element or pseudo element:
http://cssdeck.com/labs/t6nd0h9p
img {
outline: 1px solid white;
outline-offset: -4px;
}
IE9&10 do not support the outline-offset property, but otherwise support is good: http://caniuse.com/#search=outline
Alternate solution that doesn't require knowing the dimensions of the image:
http://cssdeck.com/labs/aajakwnl
<div class="ie-container"><img src="http://placekitten.com/200/200" /></div>
div.ie-container {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
}
div.ie-container:before {
display: block;
content: '';
position: absolute;
top: 4px;
right: 4px;
bottom: 4px;
left: 4px;
border: 1px solid white;
}
img {
vertical-align: middle; /* optional */
}
