CSS information

Remarks

The border property is a composite property that sets the width, style, and color values for all four sides of an object.

You must specify a style when specifying a width or color; otherwise, the border does not render.

All individual border properties not set by the composite border property are set to their default values. For example, the default value for width is medium.

The setting border=thin is identical to border=thin none; the default value for the border color is the same as the text color if one is not initially set. So, not only does the property set width to thin, it also clears any style or color values previously set.

Setting a border to zero or omitting the attribute causes no border to be displayed. Supplying the border attribute without a value defaults to a single border.

If a color is not specified, the text color is used.

For more information about supported colors, see the BUGBUG! missing link text: ie.Color_Table.
