Quotes in .css file (resolved)

[bluedevil]

I added a .gif for quoting posts


.css file:


/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
.quote
{
   color: #FFC300;
   background: #272727 url(images/startquote.gif) 4px 4px no-repeat;
   border: 1px solid #CFCFCF;
   margin: 15px;
   padding: 15px;
   font-size: x-small;
   line-height: 1.4em;

But as you can see,the post is right on top of the image.

How is this fixed?   Also,is it possible to add an end quote like this?

A few of icrips themes has these, and I think there is a topic about it at *cough* SMF 
I've been adding similar to my quotes, but just the top section.

This is something you'll have to add to the display.template.php manually. Of course, just grab a theme that has it and look to see how they did it.

Good idea!    But i wonder,which theme has this?

OK. I got it.  Tip found here:

I added:

white-space:wrap;

and changed from 5px to 30px:

margin: 30px;
padding: 30px;


it looks like this now

/* A quote, perhaps from another post. */
.quote
{
   color: #FF9900;
   background: #272727 url(images/startquote.gif) 4px 4px no-repeat;
                white-space:wrap;
                border: 1px solid #666666;
   margin: 30px;
   padding: 30px;
   font-size: x-small;
   line-height: 1.4em;
}

I looked on most of the themes over at porkys and didnt find any cool quotes.
