The display of <H2 STYLE="border-left-width: thin; border-style: solid">some text</H2> differs in NN4 and MSIE4. NN4 only sets the left border with a thin width, but MSIE4 also sets the other sides with medium width. The specification is not completely clear to me on this point, but one can read it like this: - it's necessary to use the border-style property, otherwise the border isn't visible because of the initial value of none; - if you use one value for the border-style property it should apply to all four sides; - because the initial value of border-width is medium, all the sides without the border-width property are set to medium. I suppose that's the way it works in MSIE4. Is this the correct interpretation of the specification? In NN4 it doesn't matter if you use the border-style property. Apparently the initial value NN4 uses in this case is solid. Also it makes no difference if you use more than one value for the border-style property. The other sides remain without border. | Hans de Jong | E-mail: hdejong@bart.nl | Handleiding HTML (Dutch HTML/CSS manual) | http://www.dsdelft.nl/~dejong/html | Windows 95 Page/Handleiding Windows 95 en Internet toegang | http://users.bart.nl/~hdejong
