I am trying to put up a rope border (border.png) on the sides of my center box of text. Text will work with z-index properly, but the border just will not show. Any ideas?
style.css =
* {margin:0px;padding:0px;top:0px;left:0px;}
body{
text-align: center;
background: #000000;
}
#central{
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
margin-top: 10px;
position: relative;
width: 777px;
text-align: left;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}
#contentborderside{
margin-top: 252px;
position: absolute;
width: 800px;
background: #FFFFFF url("border.png");
z-index:1;
}
#content{
margin-top: 252px;
position: absolute;
width: 500px;
background:#c9a87f;
z-index:-1;
}
