It's a pain in the ass to make any border, that is unique, to be displayed on all screens. The easiest way to do it, if you want border type stuff, is to create your own border within the page it self. You can achieve this, for larger resolutions by making the content of the page about 800 Pixels wide (center it, by the way). This would allow a full screen appearance for 800 x 600 users and everyone else would get a fairly well looking web page.

If you wish, you can make the "excess" any arbitrary color you wish. It's a pretty common layout, but can look amazingly different if done well ... Not to mention it lays out a defined navigation and everything.

Other then that, you need to explain what you want in a little more detail, because I have no idea what you're talking about ... polycount borders? Do you have a reference and possibly an image (with arrows) of what you want where?

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

The polycount border is smooth and constructed of polygons, thus showing the theme of the site about modeling:

Nice team parakeet, i like it. A nice and smooth transition between the header and the menu.

Ah. Well. As I said, the easiest way is to make a permanent 800 pixel width. However, you can use style sheets to take up the entire screen (and to stick to the edges)

Aligning to the left is VERY easy, since it is supported in all browsers and will be where you place it regardless (since you define pixel values). You can also do percentages. (For example, you can have border one placed at pixel 0,0 and takes a width of 10% and content takes percentage 90%, beginning at 10% from left.)

The right side align stuff works in mozilla/netscape, but not in IE. Why? I don't know! It's very useful and is bizarre why left would be supported, but not: right.

I'm sure it works from time to time, but in my experience using css to align in IE is a pain in the ass. But, I'm sure there's a way ... I could mess around for a while to give you an example ... but, I've really given you what you need to know, just get on google and find CSS sites that will give you example code on how to do each effect (you want to look into: span, div, id, and class names/tags)

If you ever plan on editing your page by looking at the code ... don't use any generators.

Not a problem. I think, though ... the percents are the only thing that change in IE ... blah, I don't remember.
