The westciv chart gives it the all clear, except for partial support in NS4: http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/browser_support/bg_border_margin _padding.html Just for the hell of it, I whipped up a test page (http://lindsay.f2o.org/experiments/css/border-color.html), which works fine in MacIE5 for me. -- Lindsay Evans.

Re: [WSG] Shorthand for Borders?
Well... When I'm wrong I'm really wrong. It appears to be well supported on recent standards compliant browsers: http://www.browsercam.com/public.aspx?proj_id=42233 Apologies Lindsay!

I was wrong! "The 'border-color' property can have from one to four values, and the values are set on the different sides as for 'border-width' ." http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#propdef-border-color :( Russ PS.

Ummm... Lindsay... >From my understanding (haven't got time to check at present) there is no shorthand for border-color, so you would still have to specify separate border-top-color, border-right-color, border-left-color and border-bottom-color values. This means you end up with more declarations that your original sample. Could be wrong...

Re: [WSG] Shorthand for Borders?
- Original Message - From: "Stephen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Is there an easier way (i.e. Shorthand) to declare this type of border > (for example)?: > > border-top: 1px solid #555; > border-right: 2px solid #666; > border-bottom: 3px solid #777; > border-left: 4px solid #888; - Nope. That is already in shorthand. Longhand is like this: border-top-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: #555; and so on.

It'd be cool (though even potentially even more confusing) if you could do the following: border: 1px 2px 3px 4px solid #555 #666 #777 #888; (I'd hate to be the one writing parsing rules for that sucker :p) -- Lindsay Evans.
