Hi

Just a question, IE6 CSS 2 :

If you put the following :

	border: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
	border-style: dashed;
	border-color: #5D7CEF;

It borders in a dash.

If you put the following :

	border-style: dashed;
	border-color: #5D7CEF;
	border: 1px 1px 1px 1px;

It doesn't.

Anyone wanna tell me why please??

Hi,

I think CSS wants things done in a certain order, but I'm not 100% sure on what it is all the time. That problem also occurs when doing links.

This works
a:link {font-family, etc etc etc}
a:active {font-family, etc etc etc}
a:visited {font-family, etc etc etc}
a:hover {font-family, etc etc etc}

But this doesn't
a:active {font-family, etc etc etc}
a:link {font-family, etc etc etc}
a:hover {font-family, etc etc etc}
a:visited {font-family, etc etc etc}

So I would just assume that certain things need to be called in a certain order for them to be done. I know this is pretty vague and I'm not that sure myself but the logical explanation is the way things are ordered.

like any other language css is syntax specific. order of operations if you will.

What happens is anything you don't declare in the border: attribute is set to the default, so this is what happens:

border-style: dashed;     element border style changed to dashed
border-color: #5D7CEF;    element border color changed to whatever
border: 1px 1px 1px 1px;  border attribute mis-used, no color or style specified so it assumes defaults, ie white and solid and 1px width

The border attribute expects a single size for all 4 sides, a color, and a style. ie

border:1px dashed #5D7CEF;

to correct this (in any order):

    border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
    border-style: dashed;
    border-color: #5D7CEF;

or

border:1px dashed #5D7CEF;
