It is not your typical gradient. Look at the actual background image here.

It is centered and repeated vertically with blue (#2E8BC4) as the fallback background color to give the effect.

Here's the exact CSS definition for body used:

body {  
    background: #2E8BC4 url(images/back_all.gif) repeat-y center;
    font: 13px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    color: #383838;
}

The entire page content are then enclosed in the DIV#content element width a fixed width of 712px which fits into the center gap of the background.

#content
{
    margin: 0 auto;
    background: #ffffff;
    width: 712px;
    text-align: left;
}
