I've been trying to get a border on either side of my white container. It's just not showing. I've tried to put it in three different elements just in case! (see below). Any ideas on how to make it work?

#wrapper {
    width:1000px;
    background:#F4F4F4;
    padding-top:5px;
    border: 3px #CDCDCD;
    overflow: auto;
    min-height: 100%;
    height: auto !important;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0 auto;  
}

#casing {
    padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;
    background:#Fff;
    border: 0 1px 0 1px solid #000;
}   

#cover {
    border: 0 1px 0 1px solid #000;
}
