border around cognos connection

Hi Gurus,

Is it possible to add a border around the Cognos Connection page, I mean just around the contents of the Cognos page within the browser.

Thanks

Do you mean the HTML outputs of reports? The folder structure?

There are a number of free image hosting sites available to upload the image. Tinypic is good.

Cognos uses several layers of divs and tables, each with their own class, to build the connection page. Ideally you would define the border in one of the CSS files that feed the page. The tricky bit is finding which CSS file is needed.

Fortunately there are tools such as Firebug and Microsoft Developer Toolbar that will let you easily find and play with the CSS on the current page. Youcan make test modifications on the fly to see how it looks. Find the element with either tool and add a border to it. Then just make the change in the CSS file.

I won't have access to an 8.4 installation until sometime next week, I'll take a look then.
