But be aware that a border can alter the layout. (By "trapping" margins that normally "escape" for example.) My preference is to add colored backgrounds to the main blocks. Viz: #content {background: #ccf;} #header {background: #fcf;} #sidebar {background: #ffc;} .... I put these at the end of the main style sheet where I can delete them easily when done. Of course, this is just for IE, which I test last. When developing the layout I find Firebug invaluable. It is the only tool I know that shows you where the margins are. (Negative margins excepted.)
