So I'm making a website, and i want the border to shrink as the browser does..
like in this website http://weheartit.com/

when you minimize the page, the left border gets smaller and then nonexistant. How do I achieve this?

thanks

What border are you talking about?
Use percentages for your widths.

i did, but whether i use 20% or 40% its always just 100px! (the 100px part is a guesstimation, point being that its always the same for some reason :S)

If you mean the left and right margins of the page, this is done using css to center a container element

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
body {
    text-align:center;
}
#container {
    width: 960px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    text-align: left;
}
</head>

<body>
<div id="container">
all the content goes here
</div>
</body>
</html>
