Square brackets with CSS

Question

I wish to create a [ and ] bracket just with CSS. Is there a way to specify the top and bottom border (Without slicing the image) so it looks like a br

Not directly, but you can do this instead: HTML:

    

        

        

        

    
    
Div content
    

        

        

        

    
​

CSS:

.wrapper{
    border-bottom: 2px solid #FF0000;
    border-top: 2px solid #FF0000;
    height: 100px;
    width: 300px;
}
.stick{
    border-left: 2px solid #FF0000;
    height: 33%;
}
.empty{
    height: 34%;
}
.content{ float: left }
.left{ float: left; height: 100%; }
.right{ float: right; height: 100%; }
.clear{ clear: both }
