I know this is an elementary question but hey! Everybody needs a start! So Thanks for reading this.
I'm starting to learn html/xhtml/css and this is my first lesson.
I worked on this little page but cannot get the border to wrap or fit around the text as part of the design.
The code is below, html/css. Please help and indicate what changes you made to solve the problem.
Thanks everyone.
I'm currently using Explorer 7, the code are below.
Thanks very much.

It helps best if you wrap your code in the code tags from the RTE that we use at DIC. Take a look at what I changed. Instead of writing "gray" in your border declaration, why not use the hex color? I'm not sure if IE7 has the "gray" constant in its CSS spec, but I would say it's generally a better idea to use the hex color than the string. This worked for me in my IE7 browser.
