Why Mozilla cannot read this?
<TD WIDTH="100%" STYLE="border-left-width: 1; border-right-width: 1; border-top-width: 1; padding-left: 3; padding-top:5; padding-bottom:2; padding-right:0; border-bottom-style:solid; border-bottom-width:1; border-left-style:solid; border-right-style:solid" BORDERCOLOR="#9AB7F1" height="20" bgcolor="#E6F2FF" >
Mozilla cannot read the border color and all my border color become black.
Help thanks!You've got quite a few problems there. When specifying width, you need to specify the unit you are using. IE will assume px if you do not specify, Mozilla will not. Also, you can shorten down the code a lot by using CSS shorthand, and you can use styles for the entire thing.
style="width: 100%; height: 20px; color: #000; background: #e6f2ff; border: 1px solid #9ab7f1; padding: 5px 0 2px 3px;"You can use the short form for colors ( color: #000; ) in a css,
but you should use the full form ( color: #000000; ) in an inline style declaration.Originally posted by Fang
...you should use the full form ... in an inline style declaration. Got a link?I was just trying to find it at W3C, to no avail, but blooberry (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/syntax/units/color.htm">http://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/s ... /color.htm</a><!-- m -->) does have a note on the short form.Since the #rgb is simply mapped to #rrggbb, I can't see there being any difference. Nor can I see using the shorthand method "wrong" when used inline.style="width: 100%; height: 20px; color: #000; background: #e6f2ff; border: 1px solid #9ab7f1; padding: 5px 0 2px 3px;"
This is good but what if I only need top left and right to have border? How to implement it?
I have too many tables created in the old style I have by Frontpage... It really tedious now for me to change it all.. Any better solution?
Thanks alotborder-right: 1px solid #9ab7f1; border-left: 1px solid #9ab7f1;
As far as the tables, you could conver to a CSS based layout, which would require a bit of work now, but provides much more extensibility for the future. Apart from that, if you simply want to set borders on all the td's, you could use some css like this:
td {
/* style definitions */
}Is this a bug for Mozilla browser?Huh?
I think they wanted the top, left, and right to have borders, and not just the left and right. Here's how I would do it.
border: 1px solid #9ab7f1; border-bottom: 0;
It's shorter to do it that way versus writing out the border for the three of them.Originally posted by simlim
Is this a bug for Mozilla browser? Define "this".Sorry I mean IE will assume px if you do not specify but Mozilla cannot, is this a bug?It's probably more of a bug/feature of IE than Mozilla. Mozilla in all likelyhood is going off of what the W3C standard is and since you don't specify px, it doesn't know what value you really mean, 1%, 1em, 1px.
Once you start to design with external CSS files, you won't have this, "Oh crap. I don't want to change all of those pages." feeling ever again.Originally posted by simlim

I don't believe the spec defines a default unit of measure so IE is incorrect making the assumption it is "px".
