I am trying to make an expandable div that has a background image. Below is the code I am using. I am just trying to make a quick example of this.

Attached is a screenshot. In the bottom right corner of the div you see that white is outside the box. Thanks for the help

<html>
	<head>
		<title>Something</title>
		<style type="text/css">
			body {background-color: #fff; background-color: blue;}
		
			#rBox {width: 735px; margin: 0px;}
			
			#rBox h3 {background-image: url('rBoxTop.gif'); background-repeat: no-repeat;
			background-position: left top; margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 15px;}
			
			#rBoxMiddle {background-image: url('rBoxMiddle.png'); background-repeat: repeat-y; 
			background-position: right; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}
			
			p {margin: 0px; padding: 0px 5px 15px 5px; width: 650px;}
			
			#bottom {width: 735px; background-image: url('rBoxBottom.png');
			background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left bottom;}
		</style>

You could do as this gentleman has done...css is good and just keeps getting better!

This code is nice. If I want to do that I can do this

CSS

.shadow {
				background-color: #fff;
				border-radius:10px; -moz-border-radius:10px; -webkit-border-radius:10px;
				-moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
				-webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
				box-shadow: 3px 3px 4px #000;
				/* For IE 8 */
				-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.DropShadow(OffX=6, OffY=4, Color='#000000')";
				/* For IE 5.5 - 7 */
				filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=4, Direction=135, Color='#000000');
			}

HTML

<div class="shadow">
			All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my
		</div>

Ok I got it working. I am only going to use the images for IE since rest of browsers support drop shadow in css.

<style type="text/css">
			body {background-color: blue;}
		
			#box {width: 735px; margin: 0px;}
			
			#boxtop {background-image: url('rBoxTop.gif'); background-repeat: no-repeat;
			background-position: left top; margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px 15px;}
			
			#boxmiddle {background-image: url('rBoxMiddle.png'); background-repeat: repeat-y; 
			background-position: right; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;}
			
			p {margin: 0px; padding: 10px 5px 15px 15px; width: 650px;}
			
			#boxbottom {width: 735px; background-image: url('rBoxBottom.png');
			background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: left bottom; padding-bottom: 30px;}
			
			
		</style>

And here is the HTML

<div id="box">
			<div id="boxtop" style="width: 100%">
				toptext
			</div>
			<div id="boxmiddle">
				
				<p>
					All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my terst All my
				</p>
			</div>
			<div id="boxbottom" style="width: 100%">
				
			</div>
		</div>

You may also use CSS3 as below :

for <div id="box">...</div>

to make rounded corners

#box
{
-moz-border-radius:5px;
-webkit-border-radius:5px;
}

But it won't work in IE so be carefull.

Yeah that is what I ended up doing. Then what I am doing is loading another stylesheet for internet explorer that uses my image trick that I did above
