I need to make a border around my site

I am trying to get a border to go around the right and left sides of my site. I want the kind of border that www.crutchfield.com has. I already have made the image, but I am not sure how to get it to go on the sides of the site. My site is www.overdriveelectronics.com and it is going through some changes right now. Can someone help me out with this?

 

On www.chutchfield.com, I'm not seeing any borders around the site. Can you please point them out for me? =]

 

I do not think www.crutchfield.com use any image to make a border

 

Please try adding this attribute to your body tag:

style="border:10px solid black;border-width:0 10px 0 10px;"

Code (markup):

 

If you go to http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Category.aspx?c=16&cm_re=internal_nav*target2, you can right click on the gray around the site, then hit view image and you will see that it is an image. I forgot it is not on the home page but on other pages.

 

I belive that you will need two images which can be used as a background of two cells providing the gradient border effect. Place them as background of two new cells around the actual table using "background-repeat:repeat-y" attributum.

 

I'd take an image ( you can't realise that with CSS borders because of the shadow ) like this one here and background-repeat it to the y-axis:

thecssobject { background-image:url(shadow.gif); background-repeat:repeat-y; }

Code (markup):

With the float-option in CSS you can adjust the border on the left and right egde of your site.

when I put the background image attribute, the image just sent to the left side of the screen and went down the whole page, I just want it to go down the right and left side of the site because I do not need a bottom image because there is one already there.

Night|Shift: so do you I have to put in a class in my css in order to get the image to float?

 

oh, just saw that he made it another way. easier.

His backgroundimage is the whole background of the page, not just the shadowstroke.
The made a div, applied the image like I said and coded the content into the div.

so would I have to create a div and put all the rest of the content into it and not do any of the background repeat stuff?
