  1. PODiv with Border Images
    text
    copied!<p>What is a good way to set up a single container div with some border images surrounding it (in my case only on the left, bottom, and right sides)? I have it centered at the top of the page, overlapping everything else (so like that OSX-style slide-down dialog).</p> <p>Here's the basic layout:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/HoGAj.jpg" alt="alt text"></p> <p>Here's what I've got so far (can I avoid a static width/height for the content?):</p> <p><strong>HTML:</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="contentbox"&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-wrapper" style="width: 400px"&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-mid" style="height: 200px"&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-w"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-content"&gt; Content Box Test &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-e"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-bottom"&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-sw"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-s"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="contentbox-se"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>CSS:</strong></p> <pre><code>.contentbox { width: 100%; position: fixed; z-index: 2; } .contentbox-wrapper { width: 300px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; } .contentbox-mid { height: 100px; } .contentbox-w { width: 30px; height: 100%; background: transparent url("../../images/contentbox_w.png"); float: left; } .contentbox-content { width: auto; height: 100%; background: #e8e8e8; float: left; } .contentbox-e { width: 30px; height: 100%; background: transparent url("../../images/contentbox_e.png"); float: left; } .contentbox-bottom { width: 300px; height: 30px; } .contentbox-sw { width: 30px; height: 30px; background: transparent url("../../images/contentbox_sw.png"); float: left; } .contentbox-s { height: 30px; background: transparent url("../../images/contentbox_s.png"); margin-left: 30px; margin-right: 30px; } .contentbox-se { width: 30px; height: 30px; background: transparent url("../../images/contentbox_se.png"); float: right; position: relative; bottom: 30px; } </code></pre>
