problem with setting 2 borders next to each other

[thaman941]

i cant figure out how to set two borders next to each other.

#border
border:1px solid #c9c9c9;
width:200px;
height:300px;
margin:5px;
}

It works good up and down but i cant get it to work the other way around.
any ideas?

Hi thaman941. Welcome to SitePoint.

It's not really clear what you are asking here. Could you be more specific. The code you posted should put a border all the way around the element that has an ID of #border. Where do you actually want the borders, and what kind of element are you styling?

If perhaps you want two elements side by side then you'll need to float the first one or float both.

e.g.

#border
border:1px solid #c9c9c9;
width:200px;
height:300px;
margin:5px;
float:left;
}

However as Ralph said it's not really clear what you are after
