Hi,
Hi am looking to create a page that has vertical borders on both sides of the page. What type of language is best suited for this type of page?? XHTML??? CSS???

Well, it would be a mix of both. I'm a little confused on what it is you want. Something like the Site-Reference layout? Where the content is in the middle of the page and sectioned off with a border?

Well, first off, css doesnt work to well without html, so you should consider both (w3schools is a good place to start).
second - dont do what marks picture says... its a liar

third, the easiest way is to simply make your layout using divs in html and positioning them with css. thats it.

The other option is to create an image that is 1px high and as wide as the screen you want. the image would be a cross section of the border design you want.
get css to tile it vertically (repeat:repeat-y
to fill the page
eg, if your iange looked like this

you could tile it vertically to get this
