It should have worked with margin-top set to 0px.

margin-bottom would also ideally be set to 0px, as these distances (along with left and right) are measured from the corresponding edge.

There is another possibility for creating this effect, though. You can set a background image with css, center it horizontally and tile it only vertically.

Code:

body {background-position: center top; background-repeat: repeat-y; }

This would work assuming your site is a fixed width, and your background image would need to be as follows:

Code:

(shadow) | inside of page area, width the same as the site | (shadow)

Get my drift?
