i apologize in advance if this is a dumb question but i know just enough about this stuff to be dangerous. i'm going to paste the html and the CSS i used below. i took out the content and just left the basics of what my question is about. basically i have three div's. one is content and i have left and right boxes inside it. the question is if i apply a border to the content div shouldn't it wrap around the left and right div's ? instead it stops above it. there are other boxes above and below but i have taken them out to test it and it works the same with or without them. if you want to see the whole site its at
