Sort by date Sort by votes
Try something like this:
HTML: 
<html>

  <style>
    #border {
      position: relative;
      width: 50%;
      height: 50%;
      left: 25%;
      top: 25%;
      border-top: solid black 10px; /*top border*/
      border-bottom: solid black 10px; /*bottom border*/
      background-image:
      repeating-linear-gradient(to bottom, black 0%, black 10%, transparent 10%, transparent 100%),
      repeating-linear-gradient(to bottom, black 0%, black 10%, transparent 10%, transparent 100%); /*these are to specify the space in between the dashed line*/
      background-position: left top, right top;
      background-repeat: repeat-y, repeat-y;
      background-size:10px 91%, 10px 91%;
    }
  </style>

  <body>
    <div id="border"></div>
  </body>

</html>

You can check this link for more on repeating-linear-gradient

Maybe you can even do this with linear-gradient instead of repeating-linear-gradient. I'm not too sure.

Interesting, so the repeating-linear-gradient is acting as the border? (if that makes sense)

Yes, it is. You just have to play around with some of the values until you get what you want. It's a little confusion to use (at least for me), but eventually I got it.

I looked a bit at linear-gradient, and I think that might actually be easier to use for this.

I managed to do the same with linear-gradient, this might be a little easier to use.

Replace
CSS: 
repeating-linear-gradient( to bottom, black 0%, black 10%, transparent 10%, transparent 100%),
repeating-linear-gradient( to bottom, black 0%, black 10%, transparent 10%, transparent 100%);
with
CSS: 
linear-gradient(black 10%, transparent 0%, transparent 100%, black 0%),
linear-gradient(black 10%, transparent 0%, transparent 100%, black 0%);
