his topic describes how to use Border component in SPEAK.

The Border control contains other controls. It creates a placeholder called Content when you add it to a page, and it contains any control that has this placeholder as the PlaceholderKey.

A Border control can have a border and padding. You can align the controls that it contains in different ways.

You cannot set the size of a Border control; it has no specific size set. You can use a Border control that contains no controls to produce an empty HTML “div” element.
