I have two images — in which I am attempting to use as a left and right border for the main container. Is there a simple way to approach this in css?

@KDLAMar 25.2008 — Nest one div (right edge) in another (left edge).

@PrimalMar 25.2008 — You could place one image on the right in one div, then place the other image on the left in a div inside.

[CODE]<div id="rightimage">
<div id="leftimage">
</div>
</div>[/CODE]

@WebJoelMar 25.2008 — CSS3 is coming to the rescue (-in about 10 years, maybe!), with:

[LIST]
  • [*][B]border-image[/B]:[LIST]
  • [*]border-top-image

  • [*]border-right-image

  • [*]border-bottom-image

  • [*]border-left-image
    • [/LIST]

    [I]and for images-in-corners, we have:[/I]
    [/LIST] [LIST]
  • [*][B]border-corner-image[/B]:[LIST]
  • [*]border-top-left-image

  • [*]border-top-right-image

  • [*]border-bottom-left-image

  • [*]border-bottom-right-image
    • [/LIST]     [/LIST] Mostly, we're waiting for IE to adopt CSS2! ?

    @CentauriMar 25.2008 — If the container width is fixed, and the images are repeatable vertically, then [B]one[/B] horizontal image slice repeated vertically can be applied as a background to the container.

    Thanks for your help - that makes sense. But when it comes to styling the css would I just use left/right margins?
