I've tried to search the lists for this, but I seem not to find anything.
This is about CSS3.
Let's say I'm trying to draw a star-like border, a la "Greatest offer!",
where the border is visually no more than an broken line. Something like:
$$$outside content$$$
$$/\$$/\$$/\$$/\$$/\$
#/##\/##\/##\/##\/##\
###inside content####
Let's say "outside content" has a background-image: url('pattern1.png')
and "inside content" has a background-image: url('pattern2.png'). How will
authors be able to specify that the lower part of the border --indicated
by "#"-- will use the background from pattern2.png and the upper part of
the border --indicated by "$"-- will use the background from pattern1.png?
Painting those patterns in the border-image does not help, as nothing will
assure that there will be a smooth transition from the background in the
content to the "background" painted in the border-image.
I don't know if I explained correctly my question.
Octavio.
