What that site did was created the border in photoshop and incorporated it into his background image in Photoshop. Then with his coding, he positioned his DIV layer with content inside of it.

Step 1:
Part of this tutorial shows you how to make diagonal lines:

thanks but i know how to code a div layout!


all im asking is how to do the content box i already got the pattern i just want to know how to put in the box u get me now?

[Mikeplyts]

look where your div class code is and put the below somewhere in there.

CODE

background-image: url("URL");

You might have to remove the quotes. Replace URL with the image url of the image you're going to use.

OH. I understand now :]

Make sure that you, in addition to what Mike gave you, add the padding:

CODE

background-image: url("URL"); padding:20px;

That way you can see the border of your box, and not have the whole thing covered up.

Or, you could make the patterned box a part of the background image of your DIV, and then position your content into that area of your background image, like you would a DIV layout.
