Does IE support 'border-style: dotted' ? In my IE it renders as dashed. Mozilla/Firefox are fine, of course.

I've certainly never seen it work -- definitely not in a standards-compliant way. However, before you start bashing IE, consider this quote from the w3 spec <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/box.html#propdef-border-style>:


"Conforming HTML user agents may interpret 'dotted', 'dashed', 'double', 'groove', 'ridge', 'inset', and 'outset' to be 'solid'."

So, IE isn't exactly compliant (it should render dotted as solid), but I guess they figured dashed is closer than solid.
