Border Color, Introduction, by Florence W Deems

BORDER COLOR
INTRODUCTION

by Florence W Deems

Just as for the border-width, the border-color will NOT work unless you also include the border-style FIRST.

A dotted red border
Border-width:10px

A double green border
Border-width:10px

The div in the head tag produces what looks like a table with rounded corners and a double border. But I had to use a table tag (with border="0") to get this centered on the screen. Please see the Border Radius tutorial link (below) for more info about this effect.

<!DOCTYPE html> <head> <style> div { border:6px double; width:700px; padding:10px; background:#ffffff; border-top-left-radius:2em; -webkit-border-top-left-radius:2em; /* Safari */ border-top-right-radius:2em; border-bottom-left-radius:2em; border-bottom-right-radius:2em; } p.one { border-style:dotted; border-color:red; border-width:10px; } p.two { border-style:double; border-color:#98bf21; border-width:10px } </style> </head>  <p class="one">text goes here.</p>

Remember to include a DOCTYPE tag, such as <!DOCTYPE html>
to start the page, or IE 8 might show peculiar results.
