It looks like you want to have an inline box and a block box at the same
time, but unfortunately you can have only one or the other. Read
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#box-gen for info on CSS's box
model: "Inline-level elements are those elements of the source document
that do not form new blocks of content; the content is distributed in
lines". A line is just one line - it is not many lines.
To get the kind of border you are after, you just have to use a block
box. If you want to have it next to other elements, then you can flot
it: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#floats
