border-bottom-color Attribute | borderBottomColor Property

Gets or sets the color of the bottom border of the object.

Syntax

CSS { border-bottom-color : sColor }
Scripting [ sColor = ] object.style.borderBottomColor

Possible Values

sColor String or Integer that specifies or receives one of the color names or RGB values in the Color Table.

The property is read/write for all objects except the following, for which it is read-only: currentStyle. The property has no default value. The Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attribute is not inherited.

DHTML expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s). As of Internet Explorer 8, expressions are supported in IE7 Standards mode and IE5 (Quirks) mode only. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties and Defining Document Compatibility.

Remarks

Some client applications do not recognize color names, but all client applications should recognize RGB color values and display them correctly.

As of Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5, this property applies to inline elements. With earlier versions of Windows Internet Explorer, inline elements must have an absolute  position or layout to use this property. Element layout is set by providing a value for the height property or the width property.

Examples

The following examples use the border-bottom-color attribute and the borderBottomColor property to specify the border color.

This example uses a call to an embedded (global) style sheet to change the color of the bottom border.


<HEAD>
<STYLE>
    TD { border-bottom-color: red;
         border-width: 0.5cm; border-style: groove}
    .blue { border-bottom-color: blue}  
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<TABLE BORDER>
<TR>
   TD onmouseover="this.className='blue'"
      onmouseout="this.className=''">
   <IMG src="sphere.jpg">
   </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
