I'm making all my client sites XHTML/CSS complaint, but I encountered a problem. Does anyone know how I can achieve the border effect I used for this site http://www.valentinus.be/web/valentinus/welkom.html (which only works well in IE/Windows, I know, shame on me) in CSS layers? I mean centering a div, giving it a vertical height of 100%, showing only it 's left and right beige border, and putting all of the content in there?
Thx a lot in advance.
