    I'm trying to figure out the best way to make a DIV window that has borders. I want to have 9 cells:

    1 | 2 | 3
    4 | 5 | 6
    7 | 8 | 9

    1,3,7, and 9 are Corner images. 2,4,6 and 8 are Border images and 5 is the content. Also 1,2,3 will be my header and the rest it he body. Example

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    
     <head>
      <style type="text/css">
        /* Need Help Here */
      </style>
     </head>
    
      <body>
        <div id="postbox" class="window">
          <div id="postbox_header" class="window_header">
            <div id="postbox_tlcorner" class="window_tlcorner"></div>
            <div id="postbox_title" class="window_title">New Post</div>
            <div id="postbox_tlcorner" class="window_tlcorner"></div>
          </div>
          <div id="postbox_body" class="window_body">
             <div id="postbox_lborder" class="window_lborder">
             <div id="postbox_content" class="window_content">
             <div id="postbox_rborder" class="window_rborder">
          </div>
          <div id="postbox_footer" class="window_footer">
             <div id="postbox_blcorner" class="window_blcorner">
             <div id="postbox_bborder" class="window_bborder">
             <div id="postbox_blcorner" class="window_blcorner">
          </div>
        </div>
      </body>
    
    </html>

    The html is invalid. You are missing closing tags. why not just use tables?

    tables can be easier but sometime they can be harder when you have more than 9 cells and are trying to make it fancier...

    :D

    What string DTD??...maybe strict.. ;)

    We should'nt be using tables now...since we are in the 21st century...and tables are not intended for layouts :D

    ...@Steven,
    What have you done so far??...

    ...Also note that you missed the title tags...it won't validate :shock:
