I set my layout width to 990px, then under layout container style I added:
border: dashed 1px #000000;
But, the border only shows up on the top and bottom, it doesn't show on the left and right of the table. I had it working just fine on my test blog; but I set them both up the same, so not sure what the problem is here...

Also, in the style & configure side bars, I have a right border on the left sidebar, and a left border on the right sidebar, but those aren't showing up either. It seems like all the vertical borders you can't see, but you can see the horizontal ones. Weird..

version? url?

I'm using version 2.9.1 on both.

I just noticed that when I increase the pixels to at least 2, it shows up; but you can't see it when it's at size 1, which is what I want! But, you can see it on my test blog

test blog with dash border:
http://peddlergraphics.com/testblog/

my real blog:
http://www.twiddlelee.com/blog/

I'm seeing the dashes on the outside of both sites
What browser are you using?

Really? I'm using google chrome, and I only see it on the test site! huh..

on The mac - safari, firefox and chrome show the dashes all the way around. You should check another browser, might be a chrome issue

Ok, I see it on IE. That's weird though that it would show up on one site, but not the other. Thanks for your help.
