Hey all. I am having a little issue with CSS and HTML. I want to make a line going straight down the page (line-height:100) or something on the left side of a page, however I don't know how to do this.

Could I get some help please? Thank you. The line in the red box is what I want.

You want to use

CODE

{
background : url(image url) repeat-x;
float: right or left;
}

and you may want to use the float property as well to help align your background image.

No no. I am not wanting to align an image. It's just a line I want to be added using CSS/HTML, so it cannot be copied unless using the Source.

Depending on the layout of the page and the structure of the div's, (you are using div's, right?), you may be able to produce the line by adding a border to the containing div.

Yeah it all depends on what type of layout and the elements in it that determine how you would create that effect. If you post your layout code and give suggestions to what you may or may not like we can maybe come up with a possible solution for you.

Although they'll have to look at the source code to take the image (though why would they want to take the image?), C-Panel has a way to prevent hotlinking. But you'll need to do research on the clear property. Even if you were to use jlhaslip's code, i can tell you right now, from experience, that won't get you the results you are looking for. If you run off of what Saint_Michael provided and use the clear property, then you'll get better results.

By the way, the CSS property line-height is for text, that is, the spacing between the lines of text.
