Problem with borders

vvlad · Nov 4, 2002

Hi all,

Can anybody tell me why this piece of code works,

Code:

<head>
<style>
p.mBorder
{
	border-color: #000000;
	border-width: medium;
	border-style: solid;
}
</style>
</head>

<p class = &quot;mBorder&quot;>Test border</p>

and why this one does not?

Code:

<head>
<style>
mBorder
{
	border-color: #000000;
	border-width: medium;
	border-style: solid;
}
</style>
</head>

<span class = &quot;mBorder&quot;>Test border</span>

In the first case, I get the borders I want, in the second one I do not.
What do I miss?

Thanks,

vlad

In the second example you have
mBorder
it should be
.mBorder

the "full stop" "period" "dot" is essential.

Sorry, it does not work for me.
There must be something else.

Nope, works fine for me in IE6!!

<head>
<style>
.mBorder
{
border-color: #000000;
border-width: medium;
border-style: solid;
}
</style>
</head>

<span class = "mBorder">Test border</span>

You are right, I was using IE5.
Thanks for the tip.

Make it easier on yourself and use:

head>
<style>
.mBorder
{
border: medium solid #000000;
}
</style>
</head>

<span class = "mBorder">Test border</span>
