that a mistake in my post, the border does go all way around.
on your other point...why would I want to use a fluid layout for this?
I want to add a background to some text that may or may not wrap and
always have the same padding/border even when t goes on to a new
line....I fail to see how changing anything to a % will help!?
thanks though
