lol... yeah, that'll teach me to reply w/o looking at the site first.

As other options to what Zoe provided you could do one of the following:

1.  Place a border on the body or the #whole

example - body { border: solid 20px red; }

drawbacks:  you can't have the specific beveled look you have now cross 
browser and there will always be a vertical scrollbar equal to border 
width X 2.

2.  Add another wrapper div inside #whole (maybe "inner" - I saw you 
closed it but didn't see an opening), place background images for left 
and right borders on these div's, then place two actual images in your 
HTML for the top and bottom borders and stretch them to width: 100%.

#whole {
   height: 100%;
   background: url(borderleft.png) repeat-y;
}
#inside {
   min-height: 100%;
   position: relative;
   background: url(borderright.png) top right repeat-y;
}
img#top {
   position: absolute;
   top: 0px;
   left: 0px;
   width: 100%;
   height: 25px;
}
img#bottom {
   position: absolute;
   bottom: 0px;
   left: 0px;
   width: 100%;
   height: 25px;
}

You'll need to create a small image for the top and bottom border like 
you did for left and right.  You'll also probably need to adjust the 
image positioning with negative numbers to taste.

drawbacks:  mixing style and content: an extra div and two images in 
your HTML whose only purpose is visual. Also since the top and bottom 
images overlap the borders on the backgrounds it sort of destroys the 
illusion but that could just be me :-)
