>>Interesting! But difficult to say ( for me, though) if there is no 
concrete code: lack of data. Does it need to be horizontally liquid?<<

Right now, I'm going to say "no".  I'm planning to code this out with a 
fixed-width site that gets centered - that's *typically* what my boss 
wants.  But the last site I did needed to be fluid - that's something I 
will have to clarify with them.  But I feel that if I can get a good 
handle on this border thing (I got a good idea from Stephen I'm going to 
play with involving nested divs and a 2px padding/margin to expose the 
"background behind") then I can eventually make it fluid horizontally 
(if I really need it to be) - I'm pretty good at playing around with 
things.  This one's just a first for me.

If it helps, for this boss (I subcontract to design houses), I always 
try my hardest to code in XHTML 1.0 Strict - but there may be a 
transitional need every now and again.  I also need to make the site 
conform to browsers 5+ (except IE5 Mac - unless I'm slick and I can 
manage it, which occasionally happens by some unforseen miracle.  :) )

 >>Is there a minimum height for the top and/or bottom part? That kind 
of things.<<

No, I try to stay away from min-heights unless absolutely necessary.  I 
*can* do it - but I prefer to let the content and font size determine 
the height.

 >>I give it a good chance that an adapted Liquid Corner's principle 
will do it.

Then split up in some more div's. <<

Ooooo...thank you  - I'll definitely look into this :)

 >>Maybe also a (shh... ) table is needed:  <<

Hehe...yeah, unfortunately, sometimes that happens no matter what you 
try to do about things ;)

Thanks so much, I'm going to keep plugging away at this - I really 
appreciate it!
