Does anyone know how to get a dashed border around a two column layout? I know how to make the layout, just not where to put the code for borders, or what it is. Thanks!

on each of the table cells (<td>) put an idea or class, e.g. <td class="main"> or something.
In your css put td.main

{border-style:dashed; border-width:2px; border-color:#000000;}

or, in shorthand (what I use)

td.main {border:2px dashed #000000;}

somehow, although i dont know why, "dotted" works instead of "dashed" too.

dotted and dashed have no difference in IE (from what i know) but in some browsers you do actually see the difference. I believe in IE you only see dashed, whether you add dotted or dashed, you will see dashed.
