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.)
Cordially,
David
