Hi guys, not sure if this is the right place to post.

<?php  if($user->picture) {print theme('user_picture', $user);}?>

The image shows just fine, but i need to get a border around them..

i tried putting it in to a div then giving the div a border its a 200x200 image so i set the dive to be that size, but couldnt see any border.

I also tried giving a table a border but nothing :(

I need to put a border around the profile images

any ideas?

Do it with CSS.

Use firefox with developer toolbar extension, press CTRL+SHift+F and point on the image to get its CSS style.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+E, switch to styles.css and create a css rule for that element.

Something like:

img {
border: 1px solid black;
}

replace img with your profile image style selector class

The only guess I can make from the information provided is that something in your style syntax is wrong. Like you missed a semi-colon somewhere.
Unless you post a link to the site or the code, we are working blind.

Did you VALIDATE?

No guys, you are getting it all wrong, follow this link:

I don't get your point.

If your problem still exists, please provide more information about what you did to achieve a bordered image.

In general I would say, borders on images are best created using a style for the element to have a border.

If you are talking about something like : that's oldschool and won't validate.
