If my desire that you should help my friend Swifty out is an attitude, surely it is a good one? <g> He has been searching for how to alter colour balance between two shades in one type of CSS border (the ridge style border). border-color would be one of the first things he would have checked out. It is not any old border he has the problem with. In an earlier post he virtually said he has checked out information on border colouring. In subsequent posts, it has been more or less pointed out that the proportion of shading is UA dependent and cannot be directly overridden. If you did not get these earlier posts, I apologise. -- dorayme

Thank you. It's nice to know that something can be done; it gives you the fortitude to persist until you find a solution. But it is often much better to find out (or be told) that it cannot be done, so you can stop wasting your (and everyone else's) time. -- Steve Swift http://www.swiftys.org.uk/swifty.html http://www.ringers.org.uk |
