So you just want the border of your main content area to have a dropshadow? This might help:

Instead of columns, you want to pay attention to creating an image with the dropshadow you want. It’s really just a matter of applying a background image to your whole site. Make sense?
Thanks for the response. It makes sense now. I just didn’t know it was called faux columns.
Thanks again 😉
I have another question.
How do I round the corners of a div {border}? with js or css?
The corners are just an image you put in place. I imagine that JS *could* do it, but CSS is designed to do it. You’d just need to figure out where you want those rounded corners to appear. Remember, the corners are not actually rounded; they are just images of a rounded corner that you put in place to make it *look* like the whole thing is rounded. Right?
P.S. Faux columns is just the name Cederholm called them. But the “official”-ness of that title doesn’t go any further than that.
Try to search on google on that, there’s a lot of tutorials on that one.
Here’s one, I bet you find better ones:

Thanks guys. I will check my options.
P.S. I was really hoping that I wouldn’t have to create any more images for the visitor to download.

Another question on Faux Columns: How change the background for the footer, if I don’t want the footer to end at the status bar of your browser?
