Inherit border color ??

[vego]

Hi, I'm just wondering if one can set the color of... let's say a th, so that depending on the user's system/browser, the default color would show. What I mean is, if you were to just indicate a border for a table like this:

<table border=1>

...you would end up with a certain color, depending on the system. Can something be done like this using CSS?

th {border-left: 1px solid inherit}

or am I nutzzz!

...actually, I meant <table border>

You could detect the browser via JavaScript, and include the proper CSS file based on which value is returned:

<script language='javascript'>
var whichBrowser = navigator.appName;
if (whichBrowser != "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
     document.write('<!--#include virtual="/includes/nonIECSS.ins"-->');
} else {
     document.write('<!--#include virtual="/includes/IECSS.inc"-->');
}
</script>
